Where does the diplomacy end and the espionage begin and vice/versa though? IMO they're one in the same.
The NSA has all your selfies.

I've literally never taken a selfie. No shit
The NSA has a recording of every website you have ever visited and every e-mail you have sent and every voice communication and text you have sent in the last 4 years. All of them. Microsoft and other software companies are more than happy to provide back doors to the NSA so that none of your encryption even poses a semi defense.

You left out Intel corporation. They back doored their chips years ago

LOL that's pure fantasy too many variables. Do you think there are chips in your tv too?

Why do they need chips in the TV? You dont think DirecTV tracks everything you watch and do?? They dont care about the TV, they care about the person watching the TV
You ever hear of a guy named Snowden?

Libya and Syria are not at war. Not that I accept your claim of Stevens actions.

Totally agree. So, why hang your Ambassador out there to be a legitimate military target?
- negligence?
- stupidity?
- making a political point about a funding line item?
- a personal vendetta, of some kind?
- to give cover to make an illegal CIA jail look like a pool party?
- trusting the Libyans?
It don't make sense.

"Your opinion?" That is an oxymoron. You have no original thought at all.

Educate yourself. The only sites pushing that are tin foilers.
So you claim they've embedded a 3g chip in the sandy bridge plus lines, when the embedded chipset runs the ethernet controller on intel boards?
You couldn't even fit it in a NUC setup.

Software back doors yes, hardware back doors are something else entirely and is not aimed at the consumer market. That's government and/or corporate espionage.
In relation to intel back doors - that is achieved via software not hardware and requires a internet gateway.

Developers of the FreeBSD operating system will continue preventing users from trusting processors manufactured by Intel and Via Technologies as the sole source of random numbers needed to generate cryptographic keys that can't easily be cracked by government spies and other adversaries.
That decision, which will be effective in the upcoming FreeBSD version 10.0, comes three months after secret documents leaked by former National Security Agency (NSA) subcontractor Edward Snowden said the US spy agency was able to decode vast swaths of the Internet's encrypted traffic. Among other ways, The New York Times, Pro Publica, and The Guardian reported in September, the NSA and its British counterpart defeat encryption technologies by working with chipmakers to insert backdoors, or cryptographic weaknesses, in their products.

You've moved the goal posts quite a bit. You went from claiming intel chips (CPU) contain a 3g embedded chip as a hardware backdoor when all that is claimed it that it is a software back door.
The article specifically mentions FreeBSD a server operating system you'd be lucky to find in consumer applications ie. the home.
We are talking about government/enterprise servers not desktop operating systems.
