The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US. (infosec.exchange)

they want all of that “spying on their own people” power for themselves.

My assumption as well, after after the video release in the Guthrie case, we know objectively that every device with a microphone or camera and a wireless connection is spying on us and feeding the data to the US government without a warrant too.

Can you link to the evidence from the Guthrie case?

I’ve always figured it was theoretically possible. Interested in any cases of it in the wild.

Here's one source: https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/investigators-wrangled-video-nancy-guthries-google-nest-camera-backend-rcna258460

I'm 100% sure it was Kash's call, and he was just too stupid to realize what the FBI was inadvertently admitting to by releasing this footage.

Thank you, that’s fascinating. Not exactly aa egregious as a smart phone constantly sending out mic and cam data. But it’s nonetheless interesting Kash is being so open about it. Comes across to me as marketing the idea to the public that “if you let us and corporate America spy on you, we will keep you safe”.

Yup, they followed up with a Super Bowl ad to that effect, and the negative response was so strong that Ring/Amazon immediately walked it back.
