      Both shitty, yes, but an unsecure backdoor is opening the door to every hacker on the planet, not just one group.

        I was disagreeing that a backdoor can ever be secure, because by definition it’s a way to bypass security protocols and if one person can bypass them, there’s no guarantee others can’t too.

          Of course, no backdoor is secure, but among them, there are the just plain bad and the even worse.
