Yes: it’s true …
I might well be jobhunting … but the world goes on, out there.
There’s been ongoing concern about Huawei.
With many counties in the English speaking world banning use of its products.
However?
There’s been another report, today: from the National Cyber Security Centre.
Who say any risks from Huawei’s kit are manageable …
Personally?
Well … what can I tell you?
I’m no engineer.
But the fact BT, Vodaphone and others have expressed doubts should count for something.

Personally … ?
I’ve always felt that keeping an eye on some American companies products — Microsoft, Apple and Google’s operating systems, mostly — would be a good idea.
Most operating systems will be sending various amounts of data back to base: so that they can ‘improve your user experience.’
But there’s long been suspicions there’s more going on …
So, in that sense … ?
The news that Parliament’s Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee feel Facebook and other social media sites should be more heavily regulated: partly to prevent a repeat of the Cambridge Analytica scandal, AND to stop repeats of Molly Russell’s death.
Is a good thing …
But seems to ignore that telemetry issue.
And whether any data collected by Microsoft, Apple and Google would be handed to the US government.
To me, it seems mildly hypocritical to heavily monitor Chinese infrastructure companies … but not American ones …
