On: Dear USA, my data has left your building

You forgot the backdoors in your hardware.

Yours faithfully,

The United States of America

Maybe it's time EU, Latin America, and most of the Asian countries start banning US hardware, too - you know, just like US started banning Huawei, for the same reasons.

So, would we use Chinese hardware? It probably has backdoors too..

And at least here in Latin America I believe there aren't enough hardware providers to build anything resembling a modern computer.

Indeed, but at least the backdoors aren't used to feed an establishment that has a track record of rendition, UAV assassination and technology-based lethal sabotage.
