Whatever happened with the Polish trains that had all the backdoors that were discovered?





Ah, but you see, domestic enshittification and anti-consumer actions are different from the foreign influence boogeyman. \s

Here, an article (from June 2025) about Chinese buses full of cameras and other sensors driven regularly inside secret Norwegian army bases. Those buses are to be used during a war or a crisis.


I’m with you.

I’m arguing that crippled antitrust and anti-consumer practices are part of the problem that led to Chinese buses full of cameras being deployed in western countries.

I’ll go a step further and claim DMCA, anti-reverse engineering and other copyright-protection policies have further crippled the ability of the west to detect and prevent such foreign tech influence.


It doesn't matter, the point was to get the scare story out.
