My understanding is that on the one hand the nervousness is justified but on the other hand GCHQ etc are comfortable with Huaweis level of involvement. It isn't helpful that Brexit confuses the decision making on this. 5G means more than faster internet - its a stepping stone to the Internet of Things. If everything from cars to kettles are on the internet and location data is much more precise then that's potentially your privacy and control over your life gone Big Bad Corporates could stop you having your cup of tea in the morning then track your ride to see which is your favourite cafe and then maybe put on an advert over the radio for the captive audience .

The reality is that Brexit will muddy lots of waters when it comes to these sorts of decisions. Like it or not we will have to align with the USA .... we are currently being buffeted... the threat of trade and security loss with the US on top of the self imposed economic loss with the EU will be too much to bear.

Most people made their minds up decades ago about all these independence referendums, to suggest a few Facebook and Twitter accounts made the difference is fantasy. All quietly forgetting the funding the bbc received from the EU and their pro-remain stance. Or our own secret service interfering in the US election against Trump.

The US has failed to invest in 5G resulting in it facing the prospect of American firms losing out on the money that will be invested in building the 5G internet and more importantly the services that will be built using it. It is unhappy with this situation and wants to give the US firms a chance to catch up by handicapping the current market leader Huawei. The reason the security argument is not a valid reason for rejecting Huawei is because when it comes to providing 5G Huawei, like Erikson and Nokia, is mainly an integrator of components provided by other firms and all of the code used to perform this function has been made available to and reviewed by GCHQ for over 10 years now. During this time GCHQ has not found a single example of any back door code, although they have found many cases of more general vulnerabilities that need to be fixed before it could be used in a high security environment. Similar vulnerabilities are found in code produced by all the major companies. The reality is whoever you buy your 5G infrastructure from it will consists of many layers of hardware and software, most designed if not built by US or European firms, and all of these components are vulnerable to being hacked.

By the way just to be clear, the United States Committee on Foreign Relations isn't a 'remoaner'. The quote wasn't directly about Brexit either, but rather an interesting account on Russian actions on Catalonia, it was specifically interesting on several counts firstly on why Russia flipped between supporting Scottish independence to being against it, secondly because of the surreal Catolonia fan club on here. Thirdly in that it paints a broader picture on what Russian foreign policy is about generally. Could of course be wrong - but its a lot more credible and interesting than some frothing at the mouth remoanifying Leaver who hasn't the balls to stare reality in the face.

Cue (this morning I think) American diplomat on R4 stoking up the paranoia. It does seem to me that there are general issues around AI/machine learning+5G which we haven't got our heads around (I know I haven't). The Americans are presumably trying to leverage that uncertainty and our current weakness. On the other hand...is it just about specific 'code' controlling specific devices ? Isn't this going to be about how the system works collectively - ie to invert what you said, how all the components integrate ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remind me how those bits of lawfare ended up again? We are on 5000 pages of remoaner delusion and fantasy, still clinging to the belief they were “cheated” out of the EU. You all need deprogrammed, you’ve lost the plot. Pull your head out of the sand and your ass. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_Brexit_referendum It has nothing to do with being "cheated" as you would love to think, and everything to do with a sustained and ongoing attack on our democracy. YOU might like living in that world, so long as it supports your political motivations but most of us do not. Did it affect the result, yes. Did it swing it, unknown. One thing is for sure, he didn't do it for a laugh and he certainly didn't do it for our benefit so that leaves only one conclusion. He thinks it will benefit him and harm his enemies.

The trouble with all this as are all remoaner examples is that if is taken in isolation. The bbc has taken millions in EU money and has been pumping out pro-remain propaganda for the past 4 years. It would have actually been closer to targeting the leave demographic than Twitter would be. So Russia is trying it on in Western democracies? The horror! As I pointed out, again selectively ignored, we interfered in the US election. Everybody try’s to influence everybody else according to their own interest. Its not just the reds.

Friday always involves beer normally British, occasionally a good American/NZ/Ozzy IPA. This Friday it will be with my Stepfather (FIRE'd) where we will probably discuss how best to capitalise on the situation, talk shit and laugh a lot. Seems like nothing has changed in that respect. The poor will get poorer, the rich richer and the rest of us will work out how to keep paddling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
