   > Huawei equipment was the only option that the German government didn't find to be riddled with spyware

   Exactly what I expected, as I said here at the time the 5 Eyes 5G ban was news.

     @strypey @sheogorath ironically: the Huawei equipment was the only option that the German government didn't find to be riddled with spyware when they did their own audit.

     I consider this the most likely explanation, as with the 5 Eyes decision to ban the use of Huawei equipment in 5G networks, because they offer no information about why they think this hardware might be vulnerable. Of course they couldn't give us such information because, for reasons given above, they don't know. Which is shockingly incompetent security practice.

     > those who decided these devices have to go have no idea how they are actually deployed and whether they actually can talk to the outside world

     In other words, someone is lying about why they want them gone.
