Country that put backdoors into Cisco routers to spy on world bans foreign routers - Mander

Lemmy

There are routers made in US?
No. Which is the point. Everything has to be approved manually with no specific criteria so they can arbitrarily make the decisions they want.
This affects firmware too. Not just the hardware.
And in the trump economy, that includes paying a hefty bribe for approval
Like how apple gates it’s App Store with high fees and developer licenses?
I believe it is a little bit worse when a government does that

Yeah but I can just not use an Apple device.

What is someone supposed to do when the only routers available from coast to coast are the ones made by the companies that gave Trump his 30 pieces of silver and allowed his regime to install their NSA backdoor so they can use all the new data centers they’re astroturfing the web in support of to create profiles of Anti-MAGA households for ease of persecution?

According to the BBC, the one exception is the newer Starlink Wi-Fi router, which the company says is manufactured in Texas.

This is exasperating.

US bans new foreign-made consumer internet routers

There are almost no major brands of internet routers that are manufactured in the US.

BBC News
Cisco, Juniper, and Arista are US companies. The actual manufacturing is doubtlessly somewhere in Asia though.
