Another example of the abuse of power by the government. I cannot understand how anyone could make excuses for such a shady and illegal practice.

This is a good reason to not buy a pre-build machine from any of the major vendors.

I put my machines together from components (cpu, motherboard, memory, storage, video, case)... And I install my own operating system. At least this way the government goons cannot install their spy software.
