@fishos It is emphatically not common knowledge. I'm reading everyone asserting that such and such governments have backdoors on phones or whatever device, but you're the first person to cite an example. If you have more, I would appreciate you sharing those.
Let me do some digging and try to find you some sources when I'm not stuck at work. I know there are Wikipedia articles for the literal rooms inside of telecoms that are known to be government taps into telecom and internet infrastructure. I just can't remember the room names off the top of my head. I'll come back with a few different sources to hopefully get you going down the right rabbit hole.

Thank you so much for your kindness!
Cisco backdoors are common knowledge though:
