I suppose these days it's cheaper to find some half baked vulnerability and pray it lasts a while instead of just adding back doors in the devices
That's the stupidest fucking thing I've heard from a government that seems to take pride in how stupid and authoritarian their legislation can get. They're giving the US a run for it's money.
It's beginning to feel all bad at this point, yeah, I agree.
They'll save a lot of money, but (a) the cost isn't worth it and (b) it's just totally assenine logic that takes a dump on the idea of a government's existence having any sense of meaning that goes beyond serving the interests of the wealthy.
