The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside US (www.pcmag.com)

The surprising order means any new Wi-Fi router models sold in the country must be US-made, or receive an exemption from the Pentagon or Homeland Security Department.

Interesting addition to the "free market" system we all just love so, so much.

Its obvious its for spying. Until there is a telescope stuck up every non rich citizens ass the US government will not give up.

People should rewatch that interview with the creator of Lavabit and how the feds forced him into a shutdown because he wouldn't play their spy games.

He is still not allowed to talk about all the details of it either. "What about my first amendment rights" he said in the interview.

You know, just things in the land of the free™

I'm sorry its a YouTube link I would link invidious or something similar but man I can't ever seem to get the links to those to reliably work consistently.

No worries, those services are pretty hit or miss for me as well.

Thanks for the link, I’ll watch this later today :)
