Next up: we need back doors in all encryption algorithms in order to prevent cyber attacks. I can hear it now.

Nevermind, I'll just leave this here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act
IPSEC / HTTPS are backdoored via the cert chains - the 'cert roots' are all compromised as literally required by law. Even small nothingburger companies that qualify as ISPs must comply, and they *will* random audit you.
... because criminals would never use a backdoor since they are there only for proper law enforcement agencies.

The guys themselves are criminals - they were offering IPSEC Interdiction as a backdoor for a few years before the government standards for so called 'CALEA Interdiction' were even in place.
Those are the obvious backdoors. The uh marked special police entrance, if you will. I wonder about the more subtle ones.

It is subtle - most have never heard of it. I tried to bring attention to it on old-Voat and was flooded by no less than 6 shills trying to damage control it. It became a spectacle as they made a public mess, to the point where people were making threads just on the damage control.
I wonder about the more subtle ones.
These are found by looking at overly-specific parts of specifications. For example, the NSA helped developed the IPv6 spec. One of the 'overly specific' parts requires the addresses to be region locked. I assume this is to eventually break through the 'my IP isn't my identity' barrier that has stuffed e.g. RIAA/MPAA lawsuits.
