"A bill was passed into law" and the sources are CNN and ABC news? How about congress.gov?

:Per [[Wikipedia:No original research#Primary, secondary and tertiary sources|WP:NOR - Primary, secondary, and tertiary sources]], Wikipedia articles rely on reliable secondary sources to satisfy the notability requirement of sourcing and avoid original research at the primary material source. I believe sourcing the claim to the relevant page on congress.gov would be allowed per the policy regarding primary sources if you were so inclined, but I would also keep in at least one of the two existing sources (CNN or ABC) to prove notability. Both sources have been subject to lengthy discussion on reliability by Wikieditors and [[Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#Sources|are considered reliable]] in their areas of expertise (aka, news coverage of politics would fall under that banner).

:Agreed.  The article also says there's no clear reason which is decidedly false.  Like many applications and issues that have been found with espionage over the years, CCP having a backdoor is considered a security risk and thus why official government devices especially wouldn't want it used.
