No dots to connect here.
The fictionalized DoW (per DoD AI) makes specific AI company supply chain risk.
The FCC regulates consumers ability to buy specific routers.
Routers require DoW approval before being put in your home.
Routers, with or without a back door, capture all internet activity. Sometimes audio and video feed, and have a wonderful capability to act like sonar to see where exactly everyone is inside your house.

US Government Uses Advertising Data to Track Citizens Without Warrants
CBP and ICE have spent millions purchasing location data from advertising brokers — enabling government surveillance without warrants or probable cause. This bypasses Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable search and seizure.
Advertising companies collect vast location data from smartphones and apps. Data brokers aggregate this information and sell it to the highest bidder, including government agencies. Users are often unaware their data is being collected, analyzed, and sold.
Immigrant communities face particular risk. ICE uses location data to track and detain undocumented individuals. Activists and protesters are similarly vulnerable to monitoring.
What's needed:
Laws requiring warrants for location data access
Regulation of data brokers
Privacy-by-design technology: encrypted location services, privacy-preserving advertising
The normalization of constant tracking threatens fundamental rights to freedom of movement and association.

Stop S08102A: How New York’s Proposed Digital ID Bill Threatens Privacy and the Internet
The internet has long been one of humanity’s most dynamic spaces, a place where creativity, connection, and information flow freely across borders and boundaries.

It is a sweeping, invasive attempt to embed a device-level […]
