#4Wonder if Google, Facebook, Twitter, Microsoft, etc will be added to this list. While US may consider them national security assets, it is usually the opposite that is true. Like building backdoors into encryption, these services build backdoors into peoples lives. Also note, it usually often only takes one rogue employee with superuser access to compromise a system.

So, we ban all MAANG products for federal use. Who supplies us software/hardware next? How do we trust them more than what we had before?

IIRC Telegram is banned in Russia, and its CEO is not in good terms with the Russian government.
