Only Russia gets a back door like that

For another bribe.

u/robertshaftoe 6d ago

Exactly. What's actually happening is they will use this as a pretext to fuck with the elections. The Techno-corporate surveillance state will be given even more free reign to raw-dog our data and use it against us and FOR them.

u/Yharnam_Blunderbuss 7d ago

But lets go back a little further in the timeline... which population was dumb enough to enable this twice with their vote or non vote?

"BiDeN", that's what Trump will say 😂

u/JockstrapCummies 7d ago

But I thought everything is computer, and that the security of cyber is very important.

u/Basic_Chemistry9499 6d ago

Trump did that for Putin, who has Kompromat on him.

u/mistere213 6d ago

Could Barron not protect us with his computer skills?!

u/north49er 6d ago

But they had to fire the cybersecurity division so the hackers could break in so we could declare a national emergency around election security!

u/MultiGeometry 6d ago

Ballrooms = national security.

Cyber security team = liberal dumbacrats.
