Well – they never really backed down on what they did. Far as we know the out-and-proud espionage cop is still in their payroll, and the only response they ever gave to the story was a generalised ‘We think the entire thing is being astroturfed and that no one reasonable is ACTUALLY against us hiring this guy who bragged about all the espionage he did’ back in the day.
They never said anything about it since. So it’s fair to assume they still believe in what they did.
No need to be an ass about it. For those who don’t want to sift through an article, the RPi Foundation apparently hired an ex-cop who had been known to use their products to conduct surveillance, and that caused a controversy.
Are they still playing apologetics for the cops? Because if so, no thanks.
