The Register MS Takes Money From Chinese Surveillance Threat to Promote a Ponzi Scheme

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Mar 04, 2026

This got published some hours ago in The Register MS:

At the bottom it says: "Sponsored by Huawei."

The above was published this morning and it's paid spam. But there are at least two more issues here. First, as we explained before [1, 2], they're promoting companies connected to the military in China, which we already know use their equipment to spy on the West. Second, more than half a dozen times the article (spam) mentions "AI". We wrote about this habit of The Register MS last week and moreover included the following older links:

• Follow the Money: The Register MS Gets Paid to Promote "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme/Hype, Some Fake 'Articles' Might Be Composed by LLMs Already
• 80% of the Sponsored (Fake) Articles in The Register MS Are Promotions of Ponzi Schemes (Unethical Money), the Rest is Banned Chinese Business
• The Register MS (Situation Publishing) is Participating in a Ponzi Scheme
• The "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme Promoted Again by The Register MS
• Today, The Register MS is Parroting Marketing Spam for Ponzi Scheme ("AI") in Exchange for Money
• The Register MS Has Just Been Paid to Promote the Ponzi Scheme Some More ("AI" Keyword Stuffing)
• The Register MS is Promoting Ponzi Scheme for Financial Fraud/Accounting Fraud Company, The Register MS Gets Paid to Do This
• The Register MS (Situation Publishing) is Paid to Spread Mindless Hype for the "Hey Hi" Ponzi Scheme and That's a Serious Problem
• The Register MS Gets Paid by Gartner to Promote a Ponzi Scheme for Gartner, Microsoft, and Others

We need to call out publishers that participate in 1) obtrusive mass surveillance (espionage) and 2) "pump and dump" economics. █
