      American Alphabet Soup backdoors good, Non-American Alphabet Soup backdoors bad.

      We could just ban the idea “companies that have open vulnerabilities for corporate and government use” but that would benefit every citizen of every nation, so no.

      If there’s a backdoor for the FBI, there’s nothing to stop Russia and China to also not use it. Same for a Chinese backdoor, nothing to prevent America from figuring it out. It’s why China bans American companies, and we’re phasing out Russian and Chinese companies.

      It’s impossible for an open door to know who’s using it, and keys for a closed one can be copied and leaked. The safest way to garuntee noone else uses a backdoor, is to not have a backdoor.
