Our government "wants" a lot but that ultimately just shows that they are incapable of dealing with modern technology.
AFAIK the WhatsApp encryption is unbreakable to our secret service right now. Think about that.
German government wants ‘backdoor’ access to every digital device

They must not have paid the relevant alphabet soup agency yet then.

But how can you be sure of that? After all it is a proprietary program, i.e. source code is not available.

You joke but that is how they operate. The BND used to work with the burger alphabets purely in the hopes of getting a few intelligence table scraps.
Germany as a nation is utterly defense- and clueless when it comes to digital technology and security.

That's not true any longer. They doesn't have many ITfags to do so and the results will only be available after prolonged waiting periods, but it is possible even for the shittiest State Criminal Police Office currently.

kiwifag here.
our government sent out a civil defense warning to everyone's cell which downloaded a new ringtone and played it really fucking loud.
not everyone got it so basically they've proved there are some phones (newer only, not surprisingly) which have a backdoor like that.

Don't tell me you're surprised.

How would they even implement this into an android tablet.
It would be trivial to dump all the applications and see if they match old versions. If the backdoor is in the kernel the source would have to be released.
Additionally, I don't think they could protect from users reinstalling a nonbotnet on.

Yes, blame Americans for all your problems goy
