Huawei isn’t a threat to national security. Consumer computer software is not a threat to national security. This is a justification for a trade war the president and his advisors want to engage in.
- outworlder 7y agoThey are not solely a consumer, or even cell phone manufacturer. This is not about phones, as much as Google would want us to think otherwise.
- archgoon 7y agoI would say that consumer computer software is the biggest threat to any security. Turns out that if you can compromise someone's phone, you have a window into everything that person does, sees, and hears; both online and off.
- threeseed 7y agoIt is a threat to national security if the device is constantly recording surroundings and sending data back to Huawei who in turn hands it over to Chinese intelligence. That's obviously far fetched but it's technically possible. And other countries have security concerns with Huawei besides US so this isn't just about the trade war.
- sangnoir 7y agoDo you think there's a phone (model) that's immune to Chinese intelligence once they set they are interested in recording your surroundings? I'll accepts the 5G security arguments, but the handset angle is a absurd as all phones have porous security. NSA hasn't suddenly shifted it's offensive/defensive posture to my knowledge.
