when was the last time common people and business paid attention to IT Security experts BEFORE their systems were broken into?!
You/America can be worried about spyware from China. So the US makes an inspection department, like it has for food and drugs, that certifies there is no spyware. That is a completely different approach than fabricating spyware hysteria, and then forcing everyone to believe it.
I think that at least when it comes to America it’s more than widely proven that they have an insanely large digital spying infrastructure (not just the 4-eyes stuff but also all that the NSA does, a lot of which having been revealed by Snowden) and even very openly laws such as the Patriot Act and the Cloud Act that let them force American companies to spy for them.
No “hysteria” necessary to conclude that America will do whatever it takes to spy on everybody (both internally and internationally).
I agree the US spies. It is easy on a full general compute stack, ie. PCs/phones. Routers is harder, but NSA experts could probably find suspicious chips on hardware, and if those experts were part of a government for Americans, they could find violations installed at NSA’s requests too.
