[QUOTE="cartaphilus, post: 1112600, member: 99742"] You see I agree and I disagree on the decision. This is a very thin knife edge to walk on. Since at which point are you protecting Joe Blow from themselves without affecting the freedom of choice? Is it our duty to add safety devices and ban products to protect people from themselves? It all comes down to numbers. How $$$ much will not securing it cost? Does the price justify the means? I am not some greedy business person but I am also realistic and understand how the mistakes of masses can influence myself and my bottom line. Does adding "do not drink bleach" sign on a bleach bottle or banning "Thalidomide" because it causes birth defects really a role of the government? Well in the end yeah, in the end "adults" must step in and I am not saying "adults" to be demeaning. I am using the word to mean "a group of subject matter experts fully knowledgeable in the art" since I know that I don't know everything and sometimes guidance is required. As per Kaspersky and TP-Link? As long as creditable and defendable proof is provided along with ample opportunities for the corporation to "right" themselves before issuing a ban (permanent or temporary) then I am ok with whatever is decided. There is a reason why other major nationalities have tight control on the products they allow to be sold. So far China has been amazing at IP theft but horrid at its implementation. However soon that might change and then the West will be in some deep doodoo. [/QUOTE]
