Wow.. lots of anti China propaganda in this. But who was it that hacked the US this March? Also, due to our current laws most of these "bad actors" can just straight up buy most of this "private data" from any company out there. No need for thieving.

Surprised that this doesn't have MyPillow as one of the sponsors.

Is this satire? Looks like an advert for a toilet cleaner.

I see dish detergent + ineptitude.

Get your surfaces 5G clean!

No, fortunately for the world ... The satire was a state of US /Worldwide government networks security.

I expect things to change in 2021, rather quickly.

And it is 3-5 years too late, but better now than never.

US and other western countries must:

1)start producing their own chips / boards / hw etc, end-to-end, no exceptions

2) Disconnect networks from "non-partner jurisdictions" (and I don't care about FooBacks and Gargle Ads driven business models and their bottom line)

3) Stop low-level software outsourcing. Effectively, only US citizens should work on such projects- both commercial and government

This will be good news for American IT workers, their unions and fresh US citizen IT graduates.

Finally!
