    They are mapping network infrastructure and gobbling up whatever data they can find, and sending it back to China, where for sure they are feeding into an AI that is going to try and figure out the exact networks that need to be taken out to inflict maximum damage to the US.

    I’m sure Congress and the FCC are looking at other apps and devs as well and this is probably just the beginning of more and more Chinese tech being frozen out of western economies, I know the US is also approaching this from a diplomatic standpoint, looking at requirements to keep data gathered by the companies out of China. It’s above my pay grade, especially the technical aspects. As I understand there already was a deal with tick tock for them not to ship the data to China, but they kept doing it anyway. This Act of Congress may be a cudgel for those diplomatic negotiations, as if to say if “keep fucking around and we will ban your shit one by one until there isn’t any left.”

    “One as an example, two to show we can keep doing it.”
