In the light of the resent NSA leak, the cache files that was release by the Shadow Brokers revealed that Chinese tech company Huawei was targeted. This most likely means the NSA were able to breach Huawei's systems and spy.

There were more companies that were listed as targets and this is a unprecedented breach on privacy. Some questions that need to be answered...
- How many systems and products are vulnerable to these exploits that were used?
- Are manufacturers creating backdoors to our devices?
- What prevents these tools ending up in the wrong hands?
Now the last question, It already was in the wrong hands with the team that used it and now in the hands of who knows what person or COUNTRY.

There even was a statement from Huawei:
"We’re certainly aware of allegations – recent and more dated - of past government attempts to exploit commercial networking gear. And, of course, we know that networks and related ICT product are under regular and widespread attack and we make significant investments in innovative technologies, processes and security assurance procedures to better secure them, as well as the networks and data of our customers."
As the generations go by, we lose more and more of our privacy. When does it reach the breaking point?
A serious issue that continually needs to be addressed.
Wow so did you get your definition of government from Wikipedia?
#nunyabusiness ROTFL
"Huawei is not a governing body of a nation, state, or comunnity" Ok...go on believing that bro. Behold a Pale Horse.
Ok I will 'bro' lol
https://steemit.com/politics/@anwenbaumeister/an-international-spotlight-how-maps-formed-the-modern-centralized-state-system "geography is nothing to do with government at all" lulz. Congrats on your AP-level Government class. I'm sure you aced it.
@canalytic
learn to quote properly lol. Those we not my exact words for you to put in quotes. Did you seriously link a post to prove your point? And you aced government class? Regardless of what point you are trying to make, None of the information you are giving is showing that Huawei is the government. Nice try "bro" but don't try to come on here to make me look stupid when you're doing that to yourself.
Linking a post to prove my point. Yes. It's actually a very valid way to get you to see what I am saying sense you are too hard-headed to understand what I am writing you. I'm not making you look stupid. You are making yourself look stupid. You tell me I'm not quoting you properly so do I have to screenshot that for you too?
lol so then if I say "The cats around the dog ate the food" you would say my exact quote is "dog ate the food." That is not how quote properly geinius.
"A flag or an arbitrary line of geography is nothing to do with government at all." That would be the proper way to quote me. Not "geography is nothing to do with government at all." lol this site don't even have a reply button to your posts anymore.
"...geography is nothing to do with government at all." Does this make you happy grammar pants?
And by the way, please enlightenment and tell me what parts of geography that don't include flags and arbitrary lines have do to with the government? And are there any lines of geography that aren't arbitrary? It seems your whole point was that lines of geography don't matter somehow to government even though a government will go to war over them?
What are you going to do if I invade your Bitcoinparadise.....? LULZ

Seems like Huawei is the government. Read this article here about what's going on in Kenya
Umm I don't think that's what that article is saying....
Did you read the article? The government gave a 15-billion shilling contract to Huawei and didn't even take any other bids
So what part says Huawei is the goverment? You just said the government gave money to Huawei.
Did you even read the article?
Yes I read the article @canalytic...but you just stated "the government gave a 15-billion shilling contract to Huawei and didn't take any other bids." How does that define Huawei is the government when receiving a contract from the government...?
lol, guess you don't see it. A government is not just a flag, or an arbitrary line of geography. I wrote "seems", so to be more explicit if the NSA did anything to compromise the hardware of Huawei it was done with knowledge of Huawei.
A flag or an arbitrary line of geography is nothing to do with government at all... those are just things that symbolizes a country and it's territory.
A flag has nothing to do with government? a countries territory has nothing to do with government. It "symbolizes" a country's territory???? So if North Korean drives tanks into South Korean that is nothing more than a symbolic gesture?
You are using red-herrings to make an attempt to sideline the point I am trying to make.
Definition of government - "the governing body of a nation, state, or community." Nothing that says a flag or arbitrary line of geography...
Your original point was that Huawei is the government. Huawei is not a governing body of a nation, state, or comunnity.
