    politicians are very stupid when it comes to tech it seems.

    They are so so so stupid, about this.

    There will be so much blackmail and ruined political careers if these backdoors get installed.

    A backdoor is never solely used by the folks one might hope would use it.

      I’m sure some poor Civil Servant has had to sit one of them down and explain why it’s a bad idea to them, only be told to stfu with the most stupid excuse ever, leading to them putting their head in their hands and sobbing.
