Some people seem to be in denial about NSA. The body of evidence about the ties to private industry via programs like Prism and others is overwhelming for anyone with the barest curiosity. Why would Intel go through all the trouble of creating ME or the broke AMD PSP at around the same time? This is hardwired in silicon, is not cheap to do and definitely needs huge business justification to initiate, implement and maintain. What's the business case? Are they charging a premium for these features and disabling it for everyone else as they would if it was actually a 'premium' feature? Are they giving an option to those who don't want it to disable it without ado? No, they are pushing it on everyone. That itself compromises ME. How do we know there is no NSL in effect forcing both Intel and AMD to implement this. Nobody does. But it is an intrusive piece of tech that has complete authority over your PC.
