This is an excellent article also showing the danger of censorship, which on HN happens via the voting and flagging system as well as shadow bans. People become afraid to speak their minds and you end up with dangerous conformity.

This is just another area of life where everything becomes fake. Similarly we have fake overprocessed food, fake news, fake history, fake personalitie, fake medicine etc.

I suppose it would be trivial for them to issue compromised certificates or record the private key in a targetted attack for a specific domain without anyone noticing.

Sometimes it is convenient to disguise back doors as general stupidity or honest mistakes.

It would not surprise me if they also had some hardcoded accounts and certificates for convenient "support" access.

You might not care if China spies on you, but you might put others in danger who you communicate with. They could get to them through you. This goes for all spying agencies.

If it is deserved, that is, based on truth, then it is not an insult. It is up to the individual to be honest about it instead of feeling offended. I do agree that merely saying they are bad programmers is not enough and it is more producti
