Understandable, I would also never trust US tech. I won't trust theirs either.

Not wrong and not sure why you're being down voted.

Multiple governments, the UK, Australia, the US, China, and Russia, have demanded tech companies provide backdoors for them.

US security companies had to replace a bunch of Chinese hardware because they found some serious security risks. And looks like China is finding some foreign security risks too.

As long as this game of snooping continues, every country is going to have to figure out how to assemble their own set of trusted hardware, else accept they are being listened to.

FOSS is the Future. Can't hide back-doors in open source code without someone noticing.
