You have very restricted definition of market. Market != Stock Market. Slap of market does not mean you go down, it means the profits goes to your compititors. Rise of China is textbook example here. China made the bank, while everyone who did not have compititive labor regulations got slapped for it. Globalisation basically means States getting slapped for not being competitive.

There are whole categories of companies/products (OVH/ProtonMail/etc) due to NSA. So yes USA got slapped for it too just not as visible as Rise-of-China.

Its not just US vs China. Its US vs Market. Its the hand of market that US need to watch out for. Everytime a powerful entity acts like a madman, it gets weaker. Soon or later it will receive 1000th cut which may be one too many.

Today US became less reliable.

Now thats a moral argument. In a realpolitikal world, X aggresses against Y because its in X's self interest, not because Y have been bad. Under this model, China _is_ suffering from aggressions just not from Apple/etc.

No Canada is arresting on behalf of US. On the contrary, Huawei is building 5g infra for Canada.

> Violating sanctions is a criminal offense under U.S. and Canadian law.

Just because its legal does not mean there wont be an aggressive reaction[1]. China will probably respond with force. Huawei with market exit. Then there are other actors who would respond in there own way we would never know about. US probably going to take net-hurt from this.

Do you want to hurt US market/USD ? Because thats what use of your justifications will do.

[1] edit: By that I mean non-US actors have not agreed to react aggressively. Legal implies that only US persons have.

> Huawei stole a Canadian company's technology

Then Canada gets to do the arresting and jailing.

Re next 2 points: If you want to justify violance you need stronger triggers. Those 2 just give the US right to ban the Huawei from country or using the USD.

This looks like US doing it because it can. But then US is not facing USSR whose going to die from self-inflicted wounds. China have the most capitalist companies (Apple/etc) defending it.

Safety/Quality regulations reduces choices and quantity. This hits poor the most, as they can no longer buy inferior but cheap products and services. See China.

Instead regulations should be focus on reducing scam and misleading offerings. If someone wants to buy/use despite knowing the risks, let him.

I am more refering to the css. All content is fetched without needing js. But its css hidden because ...

    <noscript>
        <style type="text/css">main {display: none;}</style>
        <ul class="list" style="color: white;">
            <li>
                <p class="center">You donve Javascript enabled. Good luck with that.</p>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </noscript>

Wow. Going out of the way to annoy js blockers.

> I certainly wouldn't want a social media company to make money from it being shared

Reddit/etc make money because of their platform not content. All of the content on reddit is available via api for free. So its definitely not the content.

You are basically normalizing violent response to a non-violent action. US can do that because FB is US company. UK cannot just because you happen to visit.

Please realize that other states are taking notes at this situation. They are waiting for US/UK/etc exec to visit and make the same excuse.

Oh I did not realize FB was pointing gun at people.

WW1 was monarchies (professional war-makers) still thinking war-making a major wealth gaining activity. 100 years ago they were proven horribly wrong, and ultimately triggered their extinction. After WW1, world learned that industrial activity had taken the crown from war-making. This brought WW2, socialism and democracy to world scene.

But within next decade world would realize that democrats/socialists are temporary elites filling the vacuum created by the global transition from monarchy to technocracy. This is why there will not be a WW3. Because those who are competent enought to make big money, are making it in tech. There will also not be a global resource war because such mega needs are $$$ opportunity, you can bet there are future-$$$onaires working at this problem this very second.

But without the IPMI kernel modules loaded, IPMI is harmless, right ?
