I agree.

Should they also stop using Microsoft products?  I mean... I would obviously
support that, but is it practical?

We have no idea what backdoors exist in Windows or Mac OS that let the
US government spy.  But I bet they do exist.

How about Intel and AMD processors with their "management engines" doing who
knows what?  Ban those too?  Replace them with... what?  ARM processors
that might be spying?  RISC-V processors from China that might be
spying?  These are difficult questions.

Dianne.
