U.S. FCC blocks two devices with Huawei affiliate chips, tightens curbs on component workarounds

The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has issued its first blocking order against devices containing chips made by companies deemed national security threats. It barred distribution of two devices, citing the presence of “foreign surveillance chips.” The FCC did not name the devices but identified a HiSilicon chip used in security cameras and dashcams, saying the maker is a Huawei subsidiary. The move targets workarounds using components inside third-party products.

Disney+ changes terms to allow ads across all plans, including premium

Disney+ has changed its terms of service to allow advertising across all subscription plans, including premium. Under the revised terms, subscribers must agree that ads may appear before and after movies or programmes, or they cannot use the service. The change weakens the practical distinction of “ad-free” plans, even as Disney’s U.S. guidance still lists a Premium (no ads) tier and says on-demand content is generally ad-free. Japan and South Korea currently list their plans as ad-free.
