Apparently, they do. Until Snowden releases something along the lines of "List with 1.500 gadgets that Amazon released that were bugged". Then suddenly we'll be like "Oh Jeez, I thought but it but I never really believed...".
The thing is "Would the NSA wanna bug a TOR developer's computer"? and the answer is "Damn, sure!".
So it's not as far fetched as many here believe imho - and NO there are not many better ways than this, I can't think of any.
- logn 13y agoExactly. This is why many people in tech weren't that surprised by Snowden's leaks and were slightly relieved just to see all the suspicions verified. But most people seem to need a powerpoint explicitly stating what's going on before they believe it. Prior leaks from NSA defectors without hard proof had almost no recognition by the public. Even full in-depth exclusives from Washington Post didn't seem to affect people.
