Comment on How do we know the government doesn't just have a secret hardware backdoor in all our devices?

If the government wants to snoop, they can just get a Certificate Authority in the boat and MITM whoever they want.
In my region there are laws that telecoms have to provide a way to let the government snoop, but the government doesn’t use it without probable cause.
Some people think a VPN will protect them, because the provider doesn’t log, but all the government needs is the VPN keys and they can intercept all traffic between the VPN and the user and log it themselves.

The way politics are going lately, that might all change in an instant. Not that there’s anything you or I can do about it. I’m not trying to fearmonger here, just that you shouldn’t be putting any Qurans or Communist manifestos on your Onedrive account, that’s all. Be mindful.
