It's called a mistake. People do things by mistake. I carry my phone in my back pocket all the time, specialy in the office where I spend most of my non-home time. It's far more co…

That"s the dream being sold, which everybody buys. In practical terms, social mobility is very low.

> Verified app stores, for example, are about providing security to the end user, not about disrespecting the end user. Everything a company does is for the bottom line. App stores…

If Google trade secrets are relevant for national security, non US governments shouldn't allow Google to operate without revealing those trade secrets to their intelligence agencie…

I would like to remind international users that making use of American technology makes you a pawn in the current trade war. The US is a counterparty risk.

Any meddling by any other country would have not had the same effect. What you are saying is that, because of the pervasiveness of US tech, all organizations having US a companies …

You should probably relay this information to those spending huge amounts in advertising.

Android is, as all US technology, a counterparty risk.

Your solution is (was?) to use your own email address (with your own domain) with email forwarding to your gmail address. This way you do not make your gmail address public, and ca…

The situation is unbearable. We can not continue like this. US technology companies have accumulated too much power. The EU should start requiring contractual assurances by technol…

I do not care what happens in the US. I am not in the US. I am not a US citizen. But I am affected by the decisions of what I consider an adversary, that is removing me the option …

That could very well be the case. But I don't care: Huawei has no power over me. Neither has the Chinese Government. The US is equally eager (or more) to tamper with the free marke…

The point is that we have allowed US companies to have absolute control of the technology stack. There is no competition (at most between US companies). There are several ways to m…

Security considerations have absolutely nothing to do with the Huawei ban. The US has provided no evidence, and has refused the offer by Huawei to collaborate in any investigation.…

Perfectly on point. US companies have now been shown for what they really are: an extension of the US government. As such those companies can and will be used to make political poi…

The US has pretty much withdrawn from all international organizations (or is simply ignoring them, see WTO). The US is not abiding by any international order. The US is economicall…

I am heavily invested in Google Services, both on desktop and mobile. The current restrictions placed on Android devices have made clear that this reliance is very risky. I do not …

Are you saying that: A) all Huawei phones (old or currently being sold) with Google services will keep access to the services, even in the long term? B) the only effect fo the ban …

Does this apply to phones being currently sold? If I buy today the Huawei P30 Pro, in amazon.de, will I have (and keep) access to Google services?

The mere fact that this is possible, highlights the risk that international trade has become, specially regarding technology. Any country holding a considerable share of the techno…

Why does the US not go to the WTO then? That's the standard process for conflict resolution. Those are the rules set up by the US.

Behing the EU's back? The project is public since years. The former German chancellor is publicly involved in it. The project is very much European: lots of countries involved. Why…

> These rules don't make US companies "another arm of the US government". US companies can (and do!) push back against the US government, through the courts, political parties, and…

Not sure why. As non-American (and non-Chinese I assume), the Chinese do not care about you, but the Americans very much do.
