It's been a few years I've given up on the idea of privacy with technology. The number of security flaws that get discovered daily is only the tip of the iceberg. I'm pretty sure some governments (or organizations) have had backdoors, be they hardware or software, in place for more than 20 years. We simply don't know about it yet (and probably never will). Would that actually be that far-fetched? I think not sadly. Even the Intel Spectre et Meltdown fiascos are a sign that we have no idea how to actually secure this stuff. And that's normal, the very definition of IT security is that nothing can be secure. Take the whole antiquated concept of processor rings for instance, we are adding a new level every other year now it feels like... I find it way more interesting (even if it is ultimately "worse") to adapt to the mentality that "nothing is secure" than "let's try and make it secure", which as stated is in itself a fallacy...
