Surely it's not just an issue of location but scale? Unless there is a huge team reviewing code, an individual or small team could be paid-off by an agency to provide a backdoor? For the right combination of large scale app by small team, there'd have to be a price at which many individuals capitulate? If the backdoor is somehow revealed, "doesn't matter, got my money". I used to wonder whether some success of social media companies couldn't be explained by secret payments for backdoor access. You could be operating out of Europe or Africa and still get offered money, and other pressure carefully applied. You might think you'd hold true to your plan of privacy-for-all, but if they offer $x00m or more?
