Is the backdoor in the open source or a blob? 🤔

its not even a backdoor. its just an update to comply with newer DNS standards.

I guess you could use WireShark to check what happens.

If youre saying they built a backdoor into it, theres no reason to. Anyone could see it in AOSP when it releases. For proprietary builds, they will already be using Google Play Services with admin privileges. GPS already is recording everything you do on your android device. Not to mention, the default encrypted DNS servers are probably Googles. Why include a backdoor when you are the service provider?
