one thing that needs to be accounted for is that, IIRC, we just recently had US AG Barr make a stink about encryption based on Facebook tech (either WhatsApp/Messenger i believe) being some anti-law enforcement issue.
does the theory suggest that US DoJ does not know how to exploit these backdoors, but other agencies (CIA/NSA, foreign intel services) do?
