I’m with you.

I’m arguing that crippled antitrust and anti-consumer practices are part of the problem that led to Chinese buses full of cameras being deployed in western countries.

I’ll go a step further and claim DMCA, anti-reverse engineering and other copyright-protection policies have further crippled the ability of the west to detect and prevent such foreign tech influence.
