Glad to see this backdoor push getting a much-deserved smackdown. Centralized points of mass data collection are inherently dangerous, and will inevitably be accessed by all kinds of adversaries. See recently: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/jun/16/louisiana-drivers-license-hack-cyber-attack https://www.nytimes.com/2024/12/30/us/politics/china-hack-treasury.html It's time for the world's security agencies to end their misadventure into being "insecurity agencies" that spy on everyone, and instead focus on the task that is in their name: helping their citizens be digitally secure. In a world where physical privacy and security is declining with every passing year, making sure top-tier digital privacy and security are available to everyone becomes even more paramount. @NSAGov @GCHQ dump the backdooring and spying, and put your effort toward doing things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux (but 100x more and better) instead. Those of us who care deeply about digital security will be happy to help.
