My opinion is that NSA has already done that a long time ago.
My opinion is that Iaws like this are made to provide cover to use that intelligence they have gathered in a less covert manner.
If somebody asks, "where the hell did you get that information"?
They can point to this law as a legal procedure.
I dont think general encryption is a big problem for the NSA either,
thought that is less certain.
The NSO group is able to repeatedly find serious and scary 0 days,
that remain unknown for some period of time.
The NSO grop does not have the manpower, skill, budget and hardware that
the NSA does.
I am convinced the NSA is sitting on an ample collection of useful 0-days,
0 click vulnerabilities and they can access Windows/Linux/MacOS/iOS/Android/Chrome/Edge/Firefox
Dropbox,OneDrive,Box,S3, etc etc at their leisure.
but they cannot use a lot of what they find since it would raise questions.

This seems extremely uncontroversial to me. Tucker Carlson released an interview yesterday with Telegram's founder, Pavel Durov. The part that I found most interesting was that Durov claims US intelligence tried to secretly work with Telegram engineers to understand, among other things, which open source libraries Telegram uses – I assume because they have back doors into a lot of the popular ones.
- juniperplant 2y agoThanks for sharing this. I watched the interview and it was one of the most interesting I've ever watched. Speaking of backdoors in popular open source libraries, the recent incident with xz is exemplary I think.
