I don't know this Dean Blundell character, but every single one of his op-eds / columns / blog posts / whatever you want to call them that I've read has been so overblown and out of proportion that it's damned near disinformation. When you really dig into it, there's almost never any significant amount of "there" there.
It seems designed to be clickbait.
I give Trump’s #DJT stock one Ronna McDaniel before it drops below its initial offering price.
Good to see I'm still better at this:
"An abstract of a grant proposal for the National Endowment for the Humanities Dangers and Opportunities of Technology: Perspectives from the Humanities program"
We've been on #Fediverse for almost a year, about the same amount of time that the #Huawei #representative has been in custody in #Canada.
There are many smart people on this platform we can attest, who span all the layers of the #networkStack you can imagine.
Maybe we missed something, but its funny how in that time we've not seen anyone take interest in the #narrative that Huawei supposedly poses a threat to #nationalSecurity with their #hardware.
Not a single one.
#NoThereThere perhaps?
