uh telco phone uh internet type providers and you're just slurping everything up yeah everybody would then be pulled into that that's the kind of stuff that snowden showed right that's a different story that's that's uh everybody's get pulled into that one way or the other uh type problems that occur

So do you have to worry about people breaking into your network and just causing problems in your life? That's a complicated topic. Like it's more privacy invasion at that point. And it's like, yeah, what are we worrying about? Are we worrying about our personal safety, our personal freedoms? Yeah.

society as a whole and the health of it if they you know and a free press like it's yeah it's it's a very large complicated topic do you think china's putting this stuff into the electronics that we're buying from them um i mean not like in the sense of like consumer levels i mean it depends right like could it be accessed from that far away

If they wanted to, anyone, if anybody wanted to do that, yes. But the thing is doing it to just like off the shelf consumer stuff is a lot harder to do in terms of hardware implants. If you wanted to do it that way, that's where we get more into the software level, like software backdoors, which we've seen in things like cryptography, right?

You know, it's posited that a lot of cryptography backdoors were put in by cooperation with like the NSA, for example. I'm a little rusty on this stuff, but basically that becomes very valuable when you're slurping up all the internet data. And a lot of that's encrypted. But if you know how to quickly break the encryption, well, now you can see the contents. And that's where that comes in.

Depends, I would say. Well, God, I have forgotten. I think China makes a lot of our power transceivers and stuff. Make a ton of it. Honestly, from what I've seen and the people I talk to that work in all this stuff, I don't think physical implants are quite needed. Things are just not secure remotely, like externally. Literally, I think it was yesterday, maybe. I don't know.

It's something that news that has come over the last few weeks where our own government is saying everyone, I think it was actually to their own government employees to use Signal. use iMessage, use encrypted chat. Do not use text messages because China has, they're just in all of the telco systems right now, which means they would be able to read the text messages, right?
