    I actually wrote most of that (sans some subsequent edits). The whole example of the slipperiness of the backdoors is conditional on being an anglophone individual who supports Western governments, which is most anglophones. It’s not a political endorsement of Western governments, and I find it surprising it’s read that way. If anything, my personal stance is strongly pro-Snowden and pro-Assange (although I do agree he’s a dickhead), and I think that every US president since Bush Sr has been a war criminal, so, I’m not shilling for the American establishment.

    It’s a wiki, and the page is meant to be a work in progress. If you have a better way to demonstrate why backdoors are shit, in a way that is more politically ambivalent, please do. The only political stance I intend to come down hard on is anything anti-privacy.
