it may take legislation to give us back control of the computers we supposedly own

The government is the reason why you have backdoors built into your computers and routers.

Government comprises many departments and organizations, which do many things. It's not a single blob of all good or all bad.

Also, not all back doors and CPU bugs are government-imposed.

Don’t remember saying every single backdoor is government-imposed. Fact is there’s at least one backdoor that is for the government, whether there’s 1 or 5 doesn’t really matter.
