That is my point? Governments restricting software, features, etc., whether for export or import, has been the norm for decades.
Restricting hardware technology devices is a much newer phenomena.
Perhaps the closest tech analogues with a longer history would be how CNC milling machines are controlled, which has been the case since the 90s too.
- Fatnino 4y agoHardware is just a thing for software to run on. These aren't computers where you can just run your own stuff (hopefully). These are phones with embedded firmware and an OS that almost no consumer will change. We can call it hardware but it's clearly a software delivery vector instead.
