You are describing the "management engine", a different thing, also a problem.

no, they're describing an fTPM.

pro-privacy people always seem to lack a lot of understanding around modern security landscapes and make a lot of assumptions that aren't true anymore (if they ever were).

I mean no offense, by the way, it makes me want to conceive a modern security primer for privacy advocates, because the community appears to have fallen behind a bit. like any community that focuses on one thing, that focus is often at the expense of other things.

How so? Intel Platform Trust Technology is TPM implemented inside the CPU. Intel Management Engine is a separate thing as far as I can tell.
