       Consumer routers have had issues, but often because "manufacturers don’t issue patches or they don’t bother to notify people when their router is end of life and no longer receiving security updates,” EFF’s @Thorin told @newyorktimes.  https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/foreign-made-wi-fi-routers-ban/

       @eff @Thorin @newyorktimes I was wondering when the #NYT would wake up to this.And then they say that Starlink routers are made in Texas, when the FCC's document clearly spells out that assembly alone isn't sufficient to meet their "Made in USA" requirement.

       @eff :Well, ironically the US is the country I least trust for supply chain security right now since the DHS and FBI  can lean on tech companies to share customer data. What will really happen is that lots of routers will stop getting security updates because there is no reason to support existing products to maintain a market that is no longer available for new products. Then security will actually take a shit. Meanwhile, with control of hardware and most cloud servuces, the US can impose its own surveillance and censorship system to outdo China. I'm in the market for pidgens.
