I'm quoted in this Bloomberg Law article about fintechs targeting teens, most recently after Mr. Beast's purchase of a fintech company.

Celebrity-Backed Financial Tools for Teens Spur Federal Scrutiny

Online celebrities, startups, and big-name financial institutions are targeting teens as the latest lucrative market for fintech products—and they’ve caught the eye of the Federal Trade Commission.

美國政府把美國國外的 router 給禁了...

看到「FCC Updates Covered List to Include Foreign-Made Consumer Routers (via)」這個消息，FCC 公佈禁了美國國外的 router。 企業級的 router 應該還是有不少，但美國自家消費級的 router 好像只有 Netgear？去查股價果然漲了 10%+： 用的是資安的名義，只能由 DoW 與 DHS 給許可，FCC 看起來只是公佈與執行單位？ 除了關稅壁壘以外，其他地方也還是有戰場...

Read more about the Negative Option Rule here: https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2024/11/15/2024-25534/negative-option-rule

By the way, the FTC is currently accepting comments on amending the rule: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2026/03/ftc-seeks-public-comment-response-advance-notice-proposed-rulemaking-regarding-negative-option

Is the #USA #FTC moving to take control of the home internet routing gear? It is of course, as clear as mud because the regulation is a little nonsensical. It could be about everything from collecting bribes to inserting #NSA backdoors to (hey why not) good intentions combined with ignorance like the California age "verification" law. Idk.

Homebrew routers just got a whole lot more important in the US
