Well the legal exposure you mention would be resolved by CISA, which provides blanket immunity for companies that give the government any user info it asks for (in the name of preventing "cyber threats"). But that's a whole other can of worms and another net negative for the U.S. tech industry.
- DiabloD3 12y agoThat only gives them immunity if the government "hacks" them with the backdoor. It does NOT give them immunity if someone ELSE actually hacks them with the backdoor. No company will ever want to take that kind of risk, and it'd cost the US economy billions no matter what the fallout is.
