Almost exactly four months ago, I wrote about how the Trump administration was preparing to ban TP-Link routers, citing the company's alleged links to China. Now, the FCC has decided to ban *all* new models of foreign-made routers, even though many U.S.-made routers are also full of security flaws.

Banning TP-Link won't save America from its own terrible cybersecurity

TP-Link routers face a ban in the U.S. over the company's alleged links to China, but shoddy cybersecurity is the real insider threat to the United States.

@zackwhittaker

Time for folks to DIY and build their own routers? 🙂🤷‍♂️

@simonzerafa @zackwhittaker and chips 😵‍💫

@chibani @zackwhittaker

The US does have domestic chip fabrication, so that's a good beginning.

Just about everything is sourced internationally though so with dubious regulatory bans and the prospects of higher prices due to tariffs and Trump kickbacks it's not look good 🙄🤦‍♂️
