How much effort would it be for the US government to force Google to ship a different APK from everyone else to a single individual?
- tptacek 2y agoI don't know, a lot? They could with the same amount of effort just get Google to ship a backdoored operating system. Or the chipset manufacturer to embed a hardware vulnerability.
- gertop 2y ago"Here's a court order, you must serve this tainted APK we built to the user at this email" VS "You must backdoor the operating system used on billions of devices. Nobody can know about it but we somehow made it a law that you must obey." Come on, that's not the same amount of efforts at all.
