    Then politicians would simply require for “any technical measures to ensure the backdoor to be available” or something like that, meaning it would be Signals’ job to ensure the backdoor works. They don’t give a shit how something is done (IT is just too complex for most of them), only that it gets done somehow. For that very reason federal digital services are such a shitshow so often, they just don’t understand what they even ask for so professionals always have to work around politicians’ demands constantly breaking even the most basic security principles.
