For anyone that still doesn’t know, this is already a thing for all US made (owned) hardware. Has been for 15 years+. This is expanding it to everything that would be sold on the market. You know phones are hotspots too… That’s right.
You know why the US is so against Huawei? Because they CANT spy on every packet like they can with a Cisco, Juniper, Ruckus, etc switch. And when those start to be installed in scale, it’s a problem for the intelligence collection. This is just a small change to make what’s already there more palatable in stages. So that in another decade when things become declassified fully and more publisized, Americans don’t believe it is an issue.
I’m sorry, a SWITCH being backdoored when they are 95% not exposed to the internet?
