Digital Cold War

Digital Cold War Started?
According to Professor Keith Richburg, a journalist and director of the Journalism and Media Studies Center at the University of Hong Kong, the actions by the US toward Huawei may amount to the start of a "Digital Cold War", with Google planning to stop its operating systems support for Huawei and reports that Facebook will cease pre-loading its Facebook, Instagram and WhatAspp apps on Huawei devices.
"Just like in the old Cold War days, when countries had to choose between the U.S. and the Soviet Union, countries now may be asked to decide whether they want to go with American technology and the American digital ecosystem, or the Chinese technology and ecosystem. It's not a choice many countries would want to make. But it may become increasingly difficult for countries to stay neutral and avoid taking sides."
