The Federal Communications Commission has released a notice today designating any consumer routers manufactured outside the US as a security risk.

    Those can’t be imported either lol. This ruling will never stand up in court.

      It’s not a ruling, the FCC was ordered decided that they’re not going to certify any new foreign made home routing equipment. No certification means the radios won’t be legal for consumers to operate

      This isn’t a law or judicial ruling, it’s policy

        The FCC is a commission that decides things. It’s a ruling in every sense of the word. And they can be sued for really anything. Here the fcc is getting sued for approving something. https://www.freepress.net/news/public-interest-coalition-sues-fcc-unlawful-approval-largest-broadcast-merger-history

          I mean, you can sue pretty much anyone for anything, but fair… It is technically a ruling

          It’s still just a policy though, which means it’s easy to change or to do unofficially if the courts reject it (which seems unlikely right now, but I’d love to see it happen)
