Because they're on the US's Entity List, which bans US companies from doing business with them without case by case, explicit approval from the US Commerce Department.

Sure, but pearl clutching over a 'contact the mods' button or the fact that they didn't host their code on a US site that they're literally banned from interacting with by the US government doesn't really further that discussion, and in my mind cheapens the valid discussion around actual CCP issues.

Oh wow, I had no idea. I don't know how I missed that. Thanks!
So I guess US companies cannot buy their employees Huawei phones (without explicit approval).
> And don't most sites have a "tell the mods about something that looks illegal" button? I see a big 'flag' button here.
Perhaps. I think the debate is about exactly what is illegal, not about features that allow reporting illegal activity.
