Thanks for sharing, I didn't know any of this. If you have some sources on this stuff please share, I'd like to get more familiar with this sort of thing. Quick question though: How would installation of runtime surveillance even work for Azire? They don't have local or remote access to do that.

Theoretically a court can actually order the people that installed and deployed that to install something else instead.

If you've subverted the organization itself, it doesn't matter what the organization claims to have as hardware and software.

Anyways, if you genuinely want to know more, go read about the Snowden Revelations, 5-eyes (previously 4-eyes), FISA courts and so on.

Appreciate it. I'm only passively aware of these topics. Thanks for sharing info rather than just jumping to insults and judgement.
