FCC adds surveillance-chip gadgets to Covered List, exempts Intel
Original: Gadgets with 'foreign surveillance chips' inside are now being added to the FCC's Covered List, but Intel gets an exemption
The FCC is adding devices containing chips flagged for potential foreign surveillance to its Covered List, restricting their use in US communications infrastructure. Intel, however, has received an exemption from the designation. The move reflects ongoing US concerns about Chinese-made technology in critical supply chains, and the special treatment for Intel is likely to draw scrutiny given its industry ties.
Why now: The US is tightening restrictions on foreign-made chips over espionage fears, and Intel's exemption stands out as notable
