US Demands Allies Ditch Chinese Tech, While Spying on Everyone
So, the US government, whose NSA built PRISM to surveil its own citizens and global allies alike, now dictates who Italy can buy X-ray scanners from? This isn't about 'security' if it doesn't apply to the biggest snoop on the block. It’s about ensuring US tech companies maintain market dominance, even if it means strong-arming sovereign nations. One might wonder if the US also pressures nations
into canceling contracts with companies that openly spy for Washington. Or is that considered friendly intelligence gathering, not a 'national security threat'? The double standard is so transparent, it's practically begging to be called out.
