And after any backdoor is implemented there is always a security hole for "everyone" else.

It is like the TSA for luggage, they say, "don't worry we will be the only one to have the key to check inside your luggage".

Finally now you can find any TSA key on amazon or everywhere else.

So luggage are not protected anymore.

TSA is just fake bullshit luggage lock security now. It let imagine people their luggage can be open "only" by police, but it is just wrong.

I get your point, but those bags would take 2 seconds for a criminal with a Stanley knife to open.

Even this one ? without a zip but "secured with a TSA key" 🤪

In September 2014, U.S. security researcher Moxie Marlinspike wrote that "every lawyer I've spoken to has indicated that having a 'canary' you remove or choose not to update would likely have the same legal consequences as simply posting something that explicitly says you've received something."

this doesn't make sense...

every company that maintenance a code in a sane way, requires any changes to the code to be peer reviewed by their colleagues.

Government will need to know first who to approach with the gag order, secondly there is a high chance the peer reviewer would tell about backdoor code to the boss.

I'm not saying it's impossible to smuggle a backdoor, but it's fuckin difficult, at least the way Durov described it.
