The FCC doesn't want back doors around.

The FCC DGAF about that. Do you really think they would have let the telecoms sweep the Typhoons under the rug like they did if they cared about anything security related?

Do you know the history of Huawei? They were one of the first companies that triggered warnings over a decade ago about people embedded inside the Chinese government and also associated with Huawei installing software-based backdoors accessible via commonly used ports on Huawei routers. The effort by the US federal government to stop this has further branched out to blocking the import of chips manufactured in China for American-designed IoT devices and routers.

At the present time in cybersecurity with a haphazard US government plugging as many leaks in the form of global and domestic crises and overburdening itself with respect to the Iran War and the situation in the Middle East — two disparate but related elements within the US government can be mutually exclusive — unfortunately. My view about this is they need to form a plan and stick to the plan through using political mechanisms.

The FCC doesn't want back doors around. They are citing existing Import/Export controls [1] and they want to protect (or would /prefer/ to protect, rather) America's intellectual property from being exfiltrated through the software back doors. The White House is for the most part now detached from public reality, sadly. Although the article says that the trump admin is supporting this effort and it does really matter in the end what Donald Trump understands about technology. The President holds the veto pen in Congress.

[1] - "U.S. Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) maintains the "Entity List" of blacklisted firms under export control restrictions. This list has grown nine-fold over the last decade to nearly 1,200 entities, as hundreds of companies from China's #Huawei to Russia's Gazprom were added. Executive Order 13783 added Huawei and 68 Huawei affiliates across 26 destinations to the Entity List in May 2019"

First, I remain curious why so many people write sentences like that which go backwards in time as you progress through the sentence. Financial news is always like that, too. “Price target adjusted to ____ from ____”. Ridiculous.

Second, that reads like the FCC is saying drones *must* receive software updates until at least 2029? My understanding is the opposite.

Seems like they just don't want those NSA zero-days patched.

... against their own people.
