This is utter nonsense.
Why's it my mum's fault for buying one of these?
Also, ignoring the backdoor and focusing on the other exploits, fairly popular open source software has had similar exploits.
- madez 9y agoI didn't state how I think it should be, but how reality is. Now, for your mother, the government has the responsibility to protect the people from harms the people can't solve on their own. This happens in crime investigations, ecological regulations, car regulations and nuclear material regulation, among many other areas. In my eyes, security in IT products is clearly one of those areas. Your mother should ask the politician she voted for why they don't fulfill their responsibility. In Germany, the highest court has stated legally binding in a decision in 2016 (red point 38 in [0]) that the state is responsible for the confidentiality and integrity of the IT equipment of the population. So far the german government chose to ignore that decision.
