Ok, those are fair points. The US is not innocent for sure, but consider the context of the times when the technology was developed, and also that a hydrogen warhead is 1000x more destructive than the atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Take pause to think about that.

I'll add that I'm far more concerned with the remains of the Soviet empire than China for a number of reasons.

But it really doesn't matter which side was more decent or noble. Fact is we're in the fight now and their intent is crystal clear. They built those devices to put our people, children, homes and ideals under the ground. It's so so dangerous to give them a pass.

Isn’t this metadata from bulk surveillance?

Do we really want every household item squirreling information back to the manufacturer about our personal habits? Exactly who stands to benefit from that? Consumers will lose a fortune and shun the technology.

I always thought IoT was a stupid idea. From day 1 it sounded pointless and unprofitable.

The hell I am. 1 in 2000 UK citizens are infected with abnormal prions. CJD can be latent for 20-40 years. In addition they covered up early deaths from CJD to prevent a revolt, mislabeling cause of death. Seriously pull on that thread

But it is propaganda - thats what the BBC does. I think the HN types would be very interested in government propaganda from an organization that forced UK citizens to fund it or face jail. I mean you can’t just slip in a statement like that and expect silence and a nod of the head. It’s borderline orwellian
