Regierungen war noch nie geheuer, dass Computer universelle Maschinen sind. Deshalb würden sie gern bestimmen, welche Software die Bevölkerung einsetzen darf. Dabei helfen Hersteller wie Apple, auf deren Geräten nur Apps aus einem strikt kontrollierten App-Store installiert werden können.

Anthony Rutkowski points out a renewed trend of publishing "cybersecurity" "standards" through ISO/IEC, where they are hidden behind a paywall: https://circleid.com/posts/20220513-monumental-cybersecurity-blunders
"[..] participants were stunned to learn that a standards body had developed a derivative standard for a power system and smart city data security - IEC 62351:2022 - and was charging 4450 Swiss Francs for a single user copy. "

Another video I have on speed-dial as this shit repeats so often, is "Encryption: Last Week Tonight with John Oliver"
https://yewtu.be/watch?v=zsjZ2r9Ygzw
John even mentions the Clipper Chip explicitly. And also that there are 100s of alternatives to choose from (or create your own), so the criminals you'd like to stop ... guess what ... criminals break the law ... by definition ... so they'll just do it again.
Why is it always comedians that have to explain that to you as you won't listen to the experts?

Haha! Some time ago I was at a friends place when they showed me a YT video playing on the TV.
I was astonished at what I saw and my first reaction was: "Do you have a virus on your TV?"
I very rarely see the ad-crap (even on YT itself) as (I guess) it's blocked by uBlock Origin and/or uMatrix.
But apparently they're used to that.
I was (literally) shaking my head as I can't/couldn't understand how one could accept that crap/nightmare 🤷
