      Yep. They don’t even realize these backdoors, or ‘safety nets’ as they call it, can and will be used by nefarious actors.

    I just hope it doesnt spread to other countries. Its like a disease of “encryption” == “bad”

      Germany is trying this for a while now. We keep fighting back and managed to hold it at bay, but the SPD and CDU keep bringing it back to the table. I fear one day they will have their will.
