I mentioned this with gunpowder and primers, but this is equally true for communications technology components like chips and devices:
There can be no true freedom until there is local production of communications platforms. All the permissionless, decentralized, and encrypted software in the world doesn’t matter if the hardware itself is keeping track of keystrokes and bypassing all of that anyway.
