@VeroniqueB99 Trump wants to control internet the same way China does including putting spyware on home routers.

@VeroniqueB99 That's banning *all* routers. There ain't and won't be any American made router in the foreseeable future.

@VeroniqueB99 yeah. It isn't.
I posted it a while back and was surprised it didn't travel like a helium post did.
Fortunately, I am not limited by Trump at present.
Unfortunately, many I care about are.But they would not leave Meta despite my warnings over years so...
I cannot help them.

@VeroniqueB99 For those unaware, a PC can be used for routing. But PC's have had their own spyware chip since about 2010 (IME). A better solution is a fast Rasp. Pi (No spychip).

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 Will/can openwrt eliminate any hdware spy that Gov could require?
provided the "spy" is software based, not hardware based. If it's hardware based, then all you can do it is not use the device. Find some other device, if one exists. I'm sure that as the situation develops more info about hardware will begin to come to the fore in the news as public consciousness shifts.

@Felis_Catus_Domesticus @VeroniqueB99 That's what I thought, it's been years since I used DD-WRT. I suspect it's a whole new software by now. Getting to old for all the changes, part of the reason I won't own a cellphone. I just don't like the idea of a leash . . . 8*)

security down to the components on the board itself is such a deep rabbit hole to dive down. I mean how trustworthy or truly impartial are the chi-coms, in the end? They've been making all our shit for 40+ years now. How do we know they haven't backdoored the shit out of things they sell down at the component level? Some things you just can't know with any certainty in this world, sadly.
