Stupid thing to do as when you are playing online you have more ports open... Ports that are known and can be leveraged to gain access. Best thing for those with this level of paranoia or sensitive data stored on there gaming PC should never play an online game ever... They are watching and waiting for you to load up a game!
Or you could just maintain a decent network policy and protection ensuring you never get any issues but I'll leave that for you to figure out.
So much this.
We should all be very worried about net neutrality and us Brits could find our selves having May and her cronies deciding what is acceptable for is to look at online.
Keep politics out of this please.. Could easily say the same for for any of parties.
You could but any of the other parties aren't in power.
My point still stands though do you want the government (red blue or yellow) deciding what news you can view or what web site is in good taste for you?
Politics aside, if Ajit Pai and the American FCC is stupid enough to do away with neutrality in their own backyard, I hope our lot in the UK aren't blind enough to follow suit to the same degree in the years to come.

Which I suspect we're slowly heading towards already, with the type of news and the slant / bias of it, that our UK media seems to have. Independent news sites seem to be the most interesting, not our BBC or newspapers.
edit... no idea why this didn't merge with my previous comment but never mind.
Fun Fact: all your hardware is produced in Asian countries, including China...
Do you worry here, too?

LOL... OP should be more worried about China players starting to find exploits and farm rather than hack your systems. They don't hack end users' systems unless to install a botnet. ED doesn't have a wide-enough playerbase for a botnet. They'd have better results in, say, WoW.
Chinese are also known for other traits other than "hacking"... "making money" is one of them. The 9% share in FD is probably a "make money" decision rather than a "let's hack the decadent West!" decision.
ps: I'm Chinese too... you afraid of me now?
You know, I might just hack you when you play.....

We are at war with Eurasia, we have always been at war with Eurasia, we are allies with Eastasia, we have always been allies with Eastasia.
Shhhh! You'll reveal my evil plans!!
How about P2P connection latency? Can we ask/expect to get an option to limit the ping to acceptable levels with connections from China?
How is P2P working right now? Can we be matched in the same instance with high latency people or there is some filtering?
Will the Chinese have their own servers?
This thread is the best thing ever.
Another troll thread with a FD reply on the first page?
Nothing special.
Check out the beige plague thread, took em a month, 1400 replies and 100 pages for a response, on a topic that actually impacts the game.
But some drunk dutch dude spreading ill written conspiracy theories? Quickly! Dispatch the community manager!
Well, community managers like a laugh as well.
