IME: So lets clear it up once and for all:

Is it a government backdoor or is it unfairly maligned by paranoid child porn advocates?

Both at the same time. And that makes it even worse.

You mean to say only pedos would have an issue with a government backdoor?

Pedos too. Look at CSAM. Pedo iToddlers are fucking scared.

Not gonna lie I actually support this, if apple catches even a single pedo with this its worthwhile tech. Data harvesting is the issue for me, if you want to scan phones for pedo shit good for you so long as you dont sell the data of all my phones images to some shady 3rd party.

It represents a freedom issue (it's not FOSS) and a security issue (larger attack surface), but it has not ever been proven to be a privacy issue (i.e., a backdoor). Not a single, unsolicited packet has ever been observed to be transmitted by IME.

Dell sold some laptops with ME disabled, and sometimes others do, too. You also hear about agencies running computers with it disabled, so it further reinforces that it's not trustworthy. However, people hype its potency too much. That goes especially for those "IME exists so I don't need to care for privacy and freedoms, and neither should you" retards that seem to be in abundance.

Good idea.

>Not a single, unsolicited packet has ever been observed to be transmitted by IME
Considering the reaction to it thats pretty embarrasing if true, can anyone refute this?

Well the freedom and security issues are very real regardless (one reason why I use libreboot), so my point is there are very valid reasons to not want it on your system, but it being "a backdoor to violate your privacy by the alphabet boys" is a hypothesis yet to be demonstrated.

It's a confirmed government backdoor.

confirmed by who lol

>US/Israeli chip
I don't know, why don't you tell me?

>Before IME
PC works
>After IME
PC works the same

So yes, it's not for you but for (((them)))

lol the 2 camps here are:
>its not FOSS and offers a broader attack surface but its not a backdoor
sane.
>Its the Jewish NWO
insane.

Yeah I think I have learned all I need to about the ME.

>>Its the Jewish NWO
>insane.

>CPU developed in israel
>Israel in top positions of governments
>it's all in your head goy
hmm i wonder who could be behind this post

You would have been better off just arguing its the US government and not the Jews, the PSP atleast lends to that. No this is clearly fucking insanity and that anons claims that not a single unsolicited packet has ever been observed transmitting from the ME has gone entirely unanswered.

>he doesn't know about non-ethernet data streaming by the terabytes every second
goyim I....

Nobody really cares about pedos
This is for political enemies

Not that guy, and I agree with the general sentiment of your post, but don't take the "never observed" as gospel. Not only is that a very generous thing to claim, were it a conspiracy, it would be very easy for them to suicide those who can prove the opposite and have people tell you it's nothing to worry about.

They use highly specific payloads for political enemies, Stuxnet and Pegasus being a few examples.

Those were to leapfrog from different types of systems laterally. The management engine operates at the CPU layer by default to somehow both be a backdoor and prevent intentionally bad chips from having backdoors(china). It's why the NSA wants no management engine and others demand it. It's a tradeoff between which state level surveillance you want. China or the five eyes. Pick one. Or get both
