Should we in Europe ban all US apps and technologies for the exact same reason: That the US government is also snooping on all US-based technology?

In Danish we have a saying: A thief thinks everybody steals.

Huawei comms are banned because the Chinese government could be listening. But we have solid proof that the US government has been caught tampering with Cisco equipment so they could listen in. Should we then ban Cisco and HP for good measure?

Where does this end?
