That's the subject of the list: what is at stake here in terms of progressive economics. >>> Two words: open source. >> >> Like open source is backdoor safe ? > > Safe...r.

I don't know if you're actually involved in open source development, but what you write above is the theory, and the practice is that it takes a huge amount of time and sheer luck to find flaws because open source projects generally do not have volunteers who focus on security issues. You can see that with openssl, glibc and other important projects. Free software is not *the* solution to security and privacy. We need also flawless development protocols and hardware that is robust but affordable.
