law that prohibits attempts at monopolies
Why hasn't this law been used before for so many other things, like all cash burn tech startups such as Uber, etc? Genuine question not being sarcastic...
Wait until they hear where all electronics come from. Are they gonna ban Apple?
Apple has been slowly shifting production to India for years now, and the software is made domestically.
I am from India actually, long way to go honestly.
More importantly, the hardware is designed and inspected by Apple’s engineers. Security vulnerabilities would be Apple’s failure regardless of the origin of the parts.
Someone in the comment section posted a good question. Which specific routers that TP-Link makes are the issue?
Is it all routers that they make or is this just because they are selling inexpensive routers that have become a large part of the US market?
Does someone have an article that isn’t biased one way or the other that gives a list of effected routers ?

They are presumably talking about CovertNetwork-1658 and the reason there's no list of routers is because no one has publicly described the vulnerability that is being leveraged.
My guess is that the vulnerability is present on most of their routers. I'm basing that opinion on the fact that previous CVEs issues against TP-LINK have impacted their most popular product lines like Archer and Deco.
It's possible that this is related to CVE-2024-21833 which was open in January of 2024, update in July of 2024, then updated again in late November of 2024.

We're literally inside an imperial core.
that gives a list of effected routers ?
If there was a list of effected routers, TP-Link would most likely have patched them.
They don't care. They want to ban TP-Link as a company, routers are just an excuse.
This is the same people that keep blocking US gdpr legislation, so we know for a fact they don't care about us, they just care about not being able to spy themselves.
Damn, maybe we should have some kind of privacy law that could have prevented this behavior from ever being allowed in the first place.
So they're going to flush the TP?
I feel sorry for D-Link, they're probably going to get caught in the crossfire via people thinking they're the same company.
So you're saying that D-Link's reputation will increase as a result?
D-Link already sucks
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
