Quick notes: Smoking gun | Uighur camps...

• Huawei Smoking Gun: Vodafone found hidden backdoors in Huawei equipment. . . . . . The African Union installed Huawei servers in its headquarters, in Addis Ababa, only to discover that those servers had been sending sensitive data back to China every evening. . . . . . . 5G trumps weather in spectrum debate



• Uighur 'concentration camps': China has made criminal many aspects of religious practice and culture in Xinjiang, including punishment for teaching Muslim texts to children and bans on parents giving their children Uighur names, U.S. officials have said.



• Break up Facebook:

“The FTC ruling is a golden opportunity to break up Facebook — especially to spin off WhatsApp. This isn’t just philosophical — it’s actually an appropriate and fair penalty” @MarcRotenberg via @cwarzelhttps://t.co/5DmlTbg3fP

• MNCs decimate local businesses: The aggressive push by Silicon Valley companies and Chinese firms to win India, one of the last great growth markets, has decimated many local businesses in recent years. With each passing day, Amazon is closing in on Walmart-owned Flipkart’s lead on the e-commerce space. Uber is fighting with Ola for the tentpole position of the ride-hailing market, and Google and Facebook dominate the ads business, to name a few. But a handful of companies in India have not only survived the growing competition, they have built businesses that are positively thriving.
