I might sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I can assure you they already provide those backdoors since the beginning. Government is powerful, they have the ability to destroy those who don't comply. These type of news are just for public entertainment. They are passing legislation every day. They can also do it without letting the public know.


They are also not especially good at keeping secrets, so I would expect to see some evidence.
