Pandora’s iPhone, by Stuart Carlson, 2016. Still spot-on in 2026:
A backdoor for the good guys simply does not exist. Once you build it, hackers walk through, authoritarian governments walk through, and the rest follows.
The UK is pressuring for chat control right now. EU Chat Control initiatives keep popping up. We need to keep saying NO to this!
Given that the organizations like the FBI can be politically weaponized, governmental use of backdoors is just as fraught as their use by hacker groups.
I was gonna say FBI is more of a threat than hackers are this point.
