    it may take legislation to give us back control of the computers we supposedly own

    The government is the reason why you have backdoors built into your computers and routers.

      Government comprises many departments and organizations, which do many things. It’s not a single blob of all good or all bad.

      Also, not all back doors and CPU bugs are government-imposed.

        Government comprises many departments and organizations, which do many things. It’s not a single blob of all good or all bad.

        I don’t remember saying the contrary. When one part of the government does something, it was still the government.

        not all back doors and CPU bugs are government-imposed

        Don’t remember saying every single backdoor is government-imposed. Fact is there’s at least one backdoor that is for the government, whether there’s 1 or 5 doesn’t really matter.
