Chances of this backdoor being removed for export markets is of course zero.

He also goes on a bizarre rant about iPhones being the "terrorists' choice" ... I think that's actually ancient Nokia dumbphones, Sergei, but nice try.

I believe that Sailfish adoption is just a ploy to improve mass surveillance, and that Jolla's a willing enabler.
Now Russian government is trying to ban TOR, VPNs and other anonymity tools
