Where are we moving the goalposts to now?
So, not a backdoor?
Again-and maybe you don't know what a backdoor is exactly-this is not from the manufacturer as you've claimed. This is Dropoutjeep, a long-patched vulnerability that was exploited to install a backdoor.
Your original comment is about manufacturers installing backdoors, and this is not that. This is also decade old news.
No goalpost has been been moved here, you haven't even left the endzone yet with your claims.
Direct quote from you: "as if there aren’t western backdoors built into all of these."
And again, to date, this has not been the case. No manufacturer has been building backdoors into devices. Other hackers finding exploits and continuing to exploit them on behalf of governments is not the same thing. It's detectable, it's measurable, and it only works on small groups of devices, not an entire population.

Supply chain interdiction isn’t anything new, but they also have ramped up efforts to force manufacturer/vendor cooperation.

You keep sending these, and they have nothing to do with what you're claiming at all. Just stop lol
Way to out your astroturf account. Anyone reading this far is going to click at least one of those links, so I’m not really sure how effective you think denial is going to be.
Lol what are you even talking about? No edits have been to any of my comments. You're just insane, friend.
Who said anything about edits? Bot’s broke.
