I caught that, too. Odd then that he later claimed China. Do they have an FSB equivalent?

It doesn't really matter where I live. In any case, "worksforme" ia not a solution.

We are discussing a supposedly global standard, which should work and be better for everyone, including Russia, China, Iran, everyone.

You know, Western politicians usually have exactly the same desires as their authoritarian Eastern counterparts, they are just unable to express them publicly. But hey, ipv6 is a niche problem discussed only by geeks, they don't actually have to say anything publicly about it, they can just silently sabotage its implementation.

China obviously has a state security service, but it doesn't really matter, I used FSB as a generic term for a law enforcement agency which tells ISPs what to do.

  • Nobody said "worksforme." It is a global standard, that does work for everyone, just not for every single use case like with telecoms and FSBalikes. It being a sidegrade in some areas does not negate the overall improvement.
