Comment on The US government just banned consumer routers made outside the US

Upvoting this, you can turn any computer into a router as well. You can have control of your own hardware.

The problem is that this is not targeting the <1% that would just build their own router. Surveilance and control of the other 99% is sufficient.

I totally agree, but hopefully with some advocacy we can get it from 99 to 98%. Doesn’t sound like much, but that’s 2 million people who have switched then, and whoever else may live in their house using their non-routers.
