Welp guys, looks like I'm moving to [insert country without that sh*t] (TBD). Or atleast my router is.
The implementation is client-side, so this wouldn't work. It forces all apps to have a client-side backdoor.
The thing is.. that even if there are countries publicly rejecting this, once the infrastructure is in place and a backdoor exists due to it being enforced by some other country, how can you be sure it's not being used / exploited?
Even in the (hypothetical) case that the government is not using it (regardless of what they might say to the public), I wouldn't trust that this backdoor would be so secure that nobody else than a government could make use of it.
