When you live in a fascist kleptocracy, everyone is paranoid.

Ha! Yes. Things have reached near hysteria levels. 

This is from a few years ago:

How long before a 'National Security' card gets into Monopoly? LOL

You really love the moral equivalency thing don’t you. Totalitarianism and Democracy are the same thing in your mind. No difference. Well, since you think there’s no difference you may get your wish if Section 230 is repealed. AppleInsider management has already said if that happens there will little choice but to shut down the forums out of fear of lawsuits. Then where would you spout your moral equivalency.

What does any of that have to do with the US (or any other government) being paranoid?

I'm not drawing moral equivalency. I'm highlighting examples. 

It's not the end of the world. 

The hell you’re not. You are ‘johnny on the spot’ whenever the subject comes up, ready with links to show the U.S. is just a s bad as China. You revel in it. Russia just banned the iPhone and here you are with links about your favorite object of desire, Huawei, and how it has been mistreated by the evil U.S. government. What a piece of work you are.

Again. Barking up the wrong tree. Paranoia has nothing to do with what type of government is in place. 

Both links made that clear. 

Actually, there is a substantial difference between spying on Chinese Citizens by the Chinese Government, and spying on U.S. Citizens by the U.S. Government, or even how these countries are allowed to spy on foreigners.

So while paranoia about domestic and foreign government spying is the "same" by consumers, in reality, the West has many more controls over whom is spied on, where they are allowed to be spied on, how the data is collected, how the data is stored, and how data is dispersed. Of course, you are aware of that, and would agree that Xi Jinping and Putin have the ability to spy on anyone they want, foreign or domestic, without question, anytime, with the assistance of any Chinese company, including Huawei.

I'm quite certain that Donald Trump previously, and Joe Biden currently, have not had that ability.

You’re not quite understanding the line that’s being crossed here:  Samsung is introducing foreign imagery to the shots you are taking.  Apple is not.  With Samsung, you cannot be sure that what you’re seeing is what YOU captured.  This is a completely different class of modification vs what’s going on with Apple’s computational photography.  Apple is enhancing or otherwise applying modifications to image features that already exist.  Samsung is introducing image features your image MAY NEVER HAVE HAD.

That's a bit surprising.

Nanoleaf had to stop Matter development for their older lighting products as the spec had become so complicated there wasn't enough storage for Matter. They're having to release new models as a result. Maybe Belkin has hit a similar roadblock.
