A backdoor is a backdoor = unauthorized access to a user's device. What does it matter if it's Microsoft, FBI, or the Chinese government using it? By definition, it can't be "just Microsoft" anyway, as the people who discovered this pointed out, whether it's up to Microsoft or not.

Maybe Microsoft feels guilty about it? It reminds me of when a journalist asked them about Bitlocker being backdoored, and they refused to comment.

- l3m0ndr0p 10y agoThe US government is enforcing implied consent on all citizens by forcing corporations to have these "backdoors" in place. I can see now why there are many of these backdoors or issues with the MS Windows. I think these issues exist to provide that backdoor opportunity for our government. No government will respect your privacy and will always claim ownership over everything you do. It's a corrupt system and it needs to end. Peacefully.
