Then you shouldn't even be on this forum.
You should have thrashed all your mobile phones and computers because everything from the GSM standard to the ARM hardware and the x86/x64 hardware can be backdoored.

Those that took over world communications are those same government agencies that cry buckets of tears about end-to-end encryption in applications, and about how that is bad for "national security", or those in other nations where they mandate back doors or full access for themselves everywhere.

Those backdoors are made for NSA, not Daesh. And national "security" agencies have much more manpower than terrorist organizations (and they have a much higher level).
