‘Trade ban on WeChat does not apply to other Tencent companies’ – IT Pro – News

They are not Trump’s theories. Don’t Get Illusion: The US secret services know very well the importance of control over communications equipment and social media. These services have years of espionage experience with US controlled systems and services.

Of course, it is a danger to US hegemony if, by deploying equipment not controlled by them, they lose much of their espionage capabilities. So Huawei is certainly a threat.

In addition, a large part of the world’s population is influenced by US media propaganda, including, but not limited to, social media. The US does not just relinquish this.

It is important how other, more or less independent, countries deal with this. Personally, I think (an idea) to mix as much communication stuff from different tech companies as possible. Because of this no one has full influence. Allow as many news sources as possible. The more the better, so that we own one own opinion can form.
