I wonder if there isn't some level of national security super mega secret scenario situation where the government requires companies to do something and the government indemnifies them against all risks associated with the required action.
- trhway 8y agohasn't it been the case with NSA and carriers all along? http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/09/business/la-fi-court-wiretapping-20121010 http://articles.latimes.com/2012/oct/09/business/la-fi-court... "Congress granted retroactive immunity to people or companies aiding U.S. intelligence agents." In this case i'd not be surprised if Google/FB/AMZN/Apple/MS/Supermicro were even part of the CIA/NSA counter-sting - feeding of the false info back to Chinese intelligence through the detected 'mistery' chips.

- rrix2 8y agoHow does the USG indemnify these companies for the massive breach of trust if that's indeed the case? You can't pay for trust.
- ryanmarsh 8y agoI would be highly surprised if this wasn’t the case.
