Linus Torvalds - Backdoor In Linux
Sam Abdullaev
A short clip from the 2013 LinuxCon Linux Kernel Panel in which Linus Torvalds is asked about being approached to insert a backdoor into Linux. He answers no verbally while nodding yes, which became a much-shared moment.
Cited as the source clip whenever threads discuss government pressure, backdoors, or trust in the Linux kernel.
