Ah but the C€ don’t require you to manufacture some or all parts in the country though, or to pay a fee for the courtesy of dodging the law

There’s better ways to do it then, EU don’t have that problem for example, and we buy plenty from China.
We just have safety and security standards enshrined into law, and don’t deal with anyone that doesn’t agree to follow them.
It’s why some products have the C€ symbol on them, which is “this has been imported, and meets all legal requirement”

The excuse that it’s for security reasons just immediately falls apart when you get to this part of the article:
The notice from the FCC states that companies can apply for conditional approval for new products from the Department of War or the Department of Homeland Security. However, that requires the businesses to provide a plan for shifting at least some of their manufacturing to the US in order to receive that conditional approval.
So it’s fine to supposedly threaten national security if you do some more manufacturing in the US? Uh-huh. How does that balance out exactly?

Scientific research doesn’t need a reason, that’s why.
Coming up with reasons is the job of other people, scientific research is about seeing what’s possible, what’s not, and how difficult it is.

I mean I enjoy porn, and they are included in your much maligned self-employed creators.
Also you’re entirely ignoring there’s a middle point, the companies with less than 500 employees total.
And honestly it’s less often that they use it that matters to them, but that it’s seen by fools as dodgy for a company to not have any social media presence

I mean, it’s obvious, the reach.
Big follower count = More Reach = More people likely to click the links or contact you
And that can be done elsewhere, but would require basically starting again from scratch, a big risk for a lot of corporations
