FCC Bans Two Devices with Foreign Surveillance Chips

• The FCC imposed a new rule allowing it to ban devices based on internal chips, not just brands or products.
• Using this rule, the FCC banned two devices for containing 'foreign surveillance chips'.
• The FCC did not specify which devices were banned or which companies' chips were involved.
• This is the first time the FCC has exercised this new power.
• The rule aims to close the loophole of rebranded products with parts from Chinese manufacturers.
