Boycott US
Overview:
The community dedicated to boycotting the US until they stop fascism, restore full democracy and start following international law.
Americans have a moral obligation to resist Donald Trump and project 2025 at every turn.
America is a flawed democracy currently being ruled by oligarchs. Stop the backslide! Dont let America become the next Hungary.
America needs to challenge the court rulings of citizens united v. fec and shelby county v. holder, protect the media, implement independent district drawing, and the single transferable vote so they don't end up having people stay home in life-changing elections because they cannot vote for their favourite candidate.

TP-link was put on a cautionary list in Canada, I think, for instance.
Please double-check that it's your best option. I just bought a home plug bridge and I'd buy another, but it's not for the tasty part of my home setup so I lie to myself about any risks.
The risk of relying on devices which perform auto-update functionality or could hide backdoors are absolutely a legitimate security vulnerability.
Companies must comply with legal orders given to them by their government. So if the government of, say, China or America demands that their firms enable surveillance or sabotage either against individuals or widespread; those companies will comply.
So yes, any advice of caution is prudent. I both get that and agree with it.
However, right now I consider the US to be a more serious threat. They are intentionally causing harm to my country in order to bully us into capitulation to steal our land and resources. So while the threats of sabotage or surveillance are true from both counties, my priority is to boycott the US more stringently.
I am absolutely open to better options and if you have any suggestions I’m up for it. And regardless I would do substantial research before buying any new gear.
