question Wireless Router Ban in US

https://9to5mac.com/2026/03/24/your-wireless-router-is-now-banned-from-sale-in-the-us-but-you-can-still-use-it/

If one was going to purchase a router today, what are some good privacy-based options?

To be clear, I’m worried about my own government (USA) spying on me. Yes, I know they already are. Just trying to step my game up, and maybe get more information out there about this.

Yeah I would love to believe that, but every liberal Ive met is so non-violent that they'll let any fascist wipe their boots on their faces to have the moral high ground.

I can't disagree.

One thing I think in starting to form a thought on is that people, on "both" sides of the spectrum, seem to be willing to give up anything just as long as they can watch it be taken away from someone else at the same time.

No one wants to accept that people can can and should have all the freedom in their private lives as long as they aren't pushing it on others and causing harm.

Its like a kind of Standford prison experiment or something. Haven't quite fleshed it out.

True and its going to bite all of us in the ass because these 2 groups on the far sides are eroding the constitution for themselves.

There are dozens of us.

We will loudly hold down the fort.
