    Clickbait! This is nothing news since the report isn’t publicly available. This is just the media working to keep you scared and reading.

    They have updated and included the article/paper 😊

      Maybe it’s been updated since you commented this, but there’s definitely a link that leads to a download of the publicly available report.

        Nice, it wasn’t before 😁 (the paper)

        HyperX and Razor are the only ones all red (bad chemicals everywhere) - Sony and Apple has mostly green 😊

      From my experience reading the guardian, click bait isn’t their thing. Also it says the investigation isn’t finished and they reached out for a comment , which usually means there’s room for an explanation or clarification if their findings are off. This is pretty common to openly ask “correct us if we’re wrong”.

      Also it mentions the organization and European program backed by the EU.
