backdoor

Description

A backdoor is a secret entrance quietly installed by those in power, hidden from the public eye. Officially praised as a measure of safety and convenience, its true purpose is to weave networks of surveillance and control. Under the guise of protecting our security, it silently discards individual privacy. This loophole, slipping past ethics and transparency, gradually erodes society’s trust.
