    Federal law enforcement agencies can request app Devs put backdoors into their apps, so the cops can steal data. What’s more, the Devs aren’t allowed to tell anyone that they have done so.

      Yep, and that makes literally no sense as any code I do has to go through a peer review and be checked off by 2 other devs, who would catch the back door. Our government has no idea how technology works.
