Trump Administration Bans Chinese Humanoid Robots and Power Inverters

Original version ·

The White House is officially ghosting China's latest tech exports, citing national security fears.

The FCC just dropped a hammer on foreign-made humanoid robots and power inverters, citing them as potential Trojan horses for surveillance or infrastructure sabotage. The concern is that these machines are networked and could be turned against the US power grid or used to spy on Americans.

Basically, the government thinks your future smart-bot or solar grid controller might be secretly reporting back to Beijing. It turns out we really don't want foreign-made hardware listening in on our living rooms or potentially flipping the kill-switch on our electricity supply.

Whether this is a genuine defense measure or just another chapter in the ongoing trade cold war, we’re now officially entering an era where your appliances have to pass a background check. Let that sink in.

    this is actually smart, stop letting foreign govts have backdoors into our infrastructure.
    +4 solidA rare moment of clarity where someone realizes that maybe, just maybe, letting foreign adversaries control your power grid is a suboptimal strategy
