I don't consider Pavel Durov, Tucker Carlson, or X/Twitter to be trustworthy sources of information...
...but I do find it plausible that gag orders could target individual engineers, which would be even more concerning than those targeting an organisation. If a project's leaders don't know about a back door, then not even a warrant canary will help.
If this is already happening in the US, what regulation or law is being used to justify it?
Id guess the 'glock vs your family if you breathe a fucking word of this' ruling
