That is because other countries do not let you document/publish this information. :-)

At least not as much as American courts will allow. The US has it's own censorship laws, but American resistance/choosing to ignore, is quite strong.

- csdreamer7 3y ago> backdooring and censorship are two very different things Parent poster talked about backdooring being documented in the US, not comparing the two in general. I posted links about non-US governments making it illegal to document the backdooring or other things the government may worry about an unpopular reaction to. The practice of the 1st amendment in the US offers very strong, but not absolute, protections against this.
