How many of these rules can you name that don't offer a path to getting an exception? That is standard practice just about everywhere, not proof that there's foul play.

It reminds me of how TikTok was forcibly sold. The US government wants to help enable American companies to gather data on it’s citizens.

If the current DHS says to use certain routers, and that I shouldn't use certain other routers, I'm just going to assume right away that the purpose is to spy on me.

Which is obviously the reason. I mean, this doesn't even sound controversial. Ahh, yes, you see, the DHS obviously just wants to protect me from bad guys, right? Sure.

Additionally they're dressing up surveillance and control as "patriotism" and "security"

This order doesn't appear to cover the $5 Temu WiFi repeaters that plug into a wall socket.
