The intention of cutting out bad actors seems to be in the right place, but using "Clean" for the terminology is really unnecessarily inflammatory.
Has anyone published the evidence of Huawei being an "arm of the PRC surveillance state"? I've seen a lot of claims and a lot of out-of-court-settled lawsuits, but nothing really showing that they're using their devices or software infrastructure for surveillance.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Hopefully, none of this will be implemented and we can all forget Mike Pompeo exists in 6 months.
84 more days till election... fingers & toes crossed
1. Check your voter registration.
2. Register to vote if you need to and it's still open for registration in your state.
3. VOTE as soon as you can. If you're voting absentee then drop off your ballot early if possible. If you're voting in-person then look into early voting to avoid lines and keep everyone safe.
It looks like we are breaking the internet up along the lines of political boundaries. The US will have one internet, the EU another, China yet another... Hopefully the pendulum will swing back in the other direction soon...
Make sure you're registered, and make sure you vote in November.

1. The Chinese National Intelligence Law requiring every citizen to "intelligence work".
2. Huawei had the potential to reach mass adoption outside of China.
3. Huawei is a company deeply connected to the PLA.
4. Therefore Huawei, not only is its HQ required to spy for China, but that it is very likely to work with the PLA to spy for China.

I'm no fan of anyone involved, but we should accept that the Internet as we may have known it has been compromised by exogenous governance structures and their gatekeepers in service of non- and even anti-internet agendas, and it can no longer seriously be considered a free territory for divergence and innovation. The U.S. and their Clean network seems naive in a way, but in this case, I don't object because I think it is the devil we know.
