#2Ping makes a pretty clever reference directly to this NSA program: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program). I've got to admit, it's quite apropos, although I don't think it dismisses the US's legitimate concerns over PRC tech influence.

#4We should start with the assumption that every government, carrier, service provider, device manufacturer is rogue and will start spying on us. As a technologist, it is responsibility of the people here to create sustainable systems and services which are simple to adopt so can be used by billions of people while keeping there privacy intact. I'll be happy to fund (in my meager capacity) any effort by Mozilla/EFF to take back control.

#5Referencing Prism is a jab at the US, but hardly a jab a Snowden. Misleading headline!

Saying the above apparently gets you downvoted.

Trolling is the art of getting a rise out of people with no regards to anything else. Anything self promotional is by definition not trolling.

#8Huawei is an arm of the Chinese government. The Chinese government has imprisoned millions of Muslims in a concentration camp monitored by Huawei equipments.
No amount of trolling can misdirect the sins of a nazi like entity

#9I feel like this is fair. People like to paint enemies of the east while essentially letting the west get away with much more heinous stuff.
The difference of course is that we implicitly trust US tech companies, of course we do, nobody else has such a monopoly on CPUs and Operating System production. Not to mention web browsers and all kinds of technology. Avoiding the USA in your tech stack is quite literally impossible.
And we permit the US government (by extension the NSA and 5eyes) to do what ever they want to us without fear of repercussion because what course of action could we take? As long as we are not a US citizen we have literally zero protections.
it’s to the point that my EU based company is applying US sanctions (to Crimea for instance, where no EU sanction covers telecommunications) because we would fall out of line in many of our contracts from US tech companies.
It is clearly a double standard. But the answer is to hold the US to account. Not bring more of this hostile crap in.

I agree it's not worded well. I think they might have intended to mean a jab at U.S. surveillance dragnets via the Snowden affair.
