Too bad you can never trust what the current gov claims. Only the inner circle knows what the real reasons are.
Not being required to block for US citizens is pretty bonkers, too, from a security perspective. Blocking it entirely is the right call; the only call that makes technical and security sense.
As for the "expert opinions", I'm still wondering if that claim is driven by the publisher and widespread PR, or fundamentally correct or factually confirmed by the hands-on technical experts. Some opinions seemed skeptical, at least.
This is just like the denying of chips to China. It might be the right call in the short term but all this tells the rest of the world is that you need your own models, don’t rely on the US.
