It's a longstanding rumour, I read about it in the times back 20 years ago, and elsewhere later, you haven't heard that before? There's another, that the US has kill switches hidden in the majority of the world's computers, they send a signal to it and it bricks.

I believe both of them, you are free to believe the taxoplasmosis parasites that tell you the government wouldn't do that what do I care.

    That’s absurd. All it would take is one disgruntled worker to post proof about it. And foreign powers would pay handsomely for a spy or hacking group to provide details. It’s well known that countries like Russia, North Korea, Israel, etc. all have highly talented hacking groups on their payrolls. If they had the slightest feeling that the US implemented such kill switch technology then they’d all be doing everything they could to exploit it. It’s not worth the risk.

    It's not that type of software, more like a fusible link, something you would never find.
