Rex Lee, Security Advisor and Tech Journalist explains FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson’s call to enforce existing laws on AI and questions why the FTC and state AGs aren’t doing more to enforce existing consumer and child protection laws.

Rex Lee, Tech Journalist and Cybersecurity Advisor, explains that AI is dangerous because it has been programmed and trained to be dangerous, and that existing consumer protection, child safety, and privacy laws must be enforced to hold AI companies accountable for the harms their systems can cause.

NTD News China in Focus interviews Security Advisor Rex M. Lee

Security advisor Rex M. Lee investigates why IDEMIA, a French identity-security firm, processes passports, fingerprints, and facial recognition data for the TSA, CBP, and FBI. With IDEMIA's public-security division now being sold to Spain's Amadeus IT Group, Lee asks the bigger question: why is any foreign-owned company trusted with America's most sensitive biometric data?

Security advisor and tech journalist Rex Lee of My Smart Privacy confronts a provocative question: Is China quietly winning the global data center buildout — and with it, the AI race? Drawing on years of research, he makes the case for what he believes the evidence overwhelmingly shows.

Smart Home Connected Products Pose National Security Risk:

 A new report from the Foundation for Defense of Democracies warns that Chinese-made cellular modules could pose a significant national security risk to the United States.

In this important interview with NTD News, security advisor and investigative tech journalist Rex M. Lee discusses the rising cyber and intelligence threats emerging in the context of the Iran conflict and the broader evolution of tech-based hybrid warfare.

Lee explains how civil-military fusion programs are increasingly leveraging everyday consumer technologies—including smartphones, tablet PCs, connected products, PCs, and servers supported by Android, iOS, and Windows—as data collection and targeting platforms.

A Fact-Check on Viral Claims

Rex M. Lee investigates viral claims that the U.S. federal government “hacked” Signal chats tied to activist groups in Minneapolis, separating speculation from verifiable fact. Drawing on public reporting, law enforcement statements, and established encryption principles, he finds no evidence that Signal’s end-to-end encryption was broken. Instead, Lee explains how investigations into encrypted messaging typically rely on human infiltration, seized devices, metadata, or legal process—not cryptographic backdoors or mass decryption capabilities. By clarifying the technical realities of secure messaging, he underscores why conflating endpoint access with encryption failure distorts public understanding of digital security, civil liberties, and the integrity of modern communications platforms.
