An hour ago: The Outcome of Microsoft Ban Was Predictable

The Web site Inside Towers has this news report which says "Senators Introduce Telecommunications Cybersecurity and Resilience Act" (sounds like "CRA").

As noted by an associate, "if actually legit, it would ban networked proprietary software in general and Microsoft products and services by name, c.f. "trusting trust" etc..."

Then consider CALEA as well, for instance past coverage such as:

2024-10-16	Perfectl is Not New, It's Not News About Linux, Outdated Apache RocketMQ is Not Linux, and the Real News Should be Back Doors Like Windows and CALEA Blunder
2024-11-24	ESET Finds Rootkits, Does Not Explain How They Get Installed, Media Says It Means "Previously Unknown Linux Backdoors" (Useful Distraction From CALEA and CALEA2)
2024-12-19	The Problem of Microsoft Security Problems is Microsoft (the Solution is to Quit Microsoft) and "Salt Typhoon" Coverage Must Name CALEA Back Doors
2025-01-05	Credit to Jessica Lyons at The Register for Covering the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA), Proving That Authorities Do Not Want and Probably Never Wanted Computer Security (Except for Themselves)
2025-01-08	Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) is a Far Bigger Problem Than Some Unintentional Bugs (Not Back Doors) in Software
2025-03-17	War Readiness Means Removing Every Windows Installation and CALEA-Compliant Equipment
2025-07-17	CALEA / CALEA2 is the Real Problem, Not Chinese Operatives Exploiting CALEA / CALEA2 (as Any Other Nation Can)

If the goal is real security, then it's not difficult to see where to start. █
