It's unclear to me based on the wording in the bill whether this only applies to government devices. IANAL but sounds like it would also extend to devices with government profiles installed, i.e. any contractor that has USG MDM on their phone or laptop. Also wondering if this applies to defense or just civil-side?
People forget that a gigantic portion of the government is made up of federal contractors, some agencies are almost entirely made up of contractors. Depending on how this bill is interpreted this could lead to govt banning certain social media from the personal devices of FTEs/contractors with MDM enabled.
- greggarious 4y ago>this could lead to govt banning certain social media from the personal devices of FTEs/contractors with MDM enabled. So what? The PRC run concentration camps. I don’t understand why we bend over backwards to cater to them, maybe that’s why I’ve never been a contractor despite multiple long periods of employment after years of focusing on censorship circumvention, an alleged hot topic.

Yeah the US is not that different, however in much smaller quantity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guantanamo_Bay_detention_camp The "Reason" is the same, keep terrorists in a minimal law protected environment, and as we all know a declared terrorist has no human rights, also the laws of the country who detains him is not in effect, for whatever reason.

- nix23 4y agoLike i wrote the scale is different, but: "The greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its weakest member" And now you have a Nation with concentration camps who's criticizes another one with concentration camps...bravo. But i see your use of "comrade" means your a good/bad-country "painter" who cant recognize the color grey.
