Is this an executive measure?
Does the executive have authority to do such a thing, based on vague and nebulous claims of threat to national security? Were these companies providing sevices/supplying goods in the US market subject to necessary US regulatory approvals? On which grounds can such approvals be rescinded without evidence that will stand in courts?
Moreover this is infact a restriction on US citizens/ firms from buying these goods?
Does it not impinge on their rights to fair choice?
- MattGaiser 4y agoThey were given the authority last November under the Secure Equipment Act.
- galdosdi 4y ago> Does it not impinge on their rights to fair choice? What are you talking about. You just made up a legal right that has never existed. Try going and opening up a restaurant in any city in america without submitting to any health department inspection. You will get shut down. There is no such universal right under US law to "fair choice" when buying goods, whatever that might mean. There are millions of pages of laws and regulations affecting buying and selling of goods in all 50 states as well as in the federal government.

- GoatOfAplomb 4y agoThat's the quandary with sock puppets, though. The comment is written well enough to withstand a quick skim, and if no one rebuts it, it may convince some skimmers.
