This is a huge detail that further complicates the picture, ASML's lithography technology heavily benefitted from United States DOE research:
> In 1997, ASML began studying a shift to using extreme ultraviolet. Two years later, it joined a consortium, which included Intel and two other U.S. chipmakers, in order to exploit fundamental research conducted by the US Department of Energy. Because the Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) it operates under is funded by the US government, licensing must be approved by Congress.

Not just heavily benefitted. The entire wafer-making technology is the result of US government funding and research. There's a reason why Cymer continues to operate independently in San Diego instead of by ASML in Europe. That was mandated by the acquisition agreement. The R&D and manufacture of the EUV light sources had to remain in California. ASML in the Netherlands is just the final assembler of the machines.
There have been several spywares developed in Israel and that have been used by them and other governments against civilians, below are just a few examples. Why wouldn't you lump Israel in?
If your criterion holds for spyware merely developed in a state, then that commits you not working in the US or UK as well. Something to think about.
Putting that aside, my moral positions about Israel are rooted in the righteousness of the Jews' cause and their historical struggle. My personal self-righteousness is inadequate in comparison.
It’s technically true that the plan prices haven’t changed, it’s just the value you get from those plans has plummeted. It’s classic deceptive sales language.

It's remarkable that even in a country where Jewish people make up no more than 0.05% of the population, they excel in this cybersecurity/surveillance arena. The talented ability of Jewish moms to always know the gossip of the community seems to pass down to their entrepreneurial kids!
To clarify (since the headlines of many articles about this aren't clear about it), this states that it prohibits approval of new Models, so any models that already cleared FCC certification can still be sold in the US, even if they're made overseas.
This is for newly released models that still need to get FCC certification.
I always found this peculiar, you would think it would be the other way around. I wonder why that is?
