#2> By deleting the web shells, FBI personnel will prevent malicious cyber actors from using the web shells to access the servers and install additional malware on them
If the FBi is in your computer you have already lost. Your box is as good as dead and you might aswell do a full factory reset or it that's too bothersome, buy a new box. Sometimes buying a whole new box is cheaper than cleaning up malware using specialist tools.

#4This is probably a net positive for national security... but I still don't like it. I don't want the FBI doing anything to my computer without my permission.

#5Sweet, since we now have the precedence that the FBI can invade your machine without permission whenever they want for national security reasons I can't wait the glorious future we have before us.
Now the FBI can access your machine and start modifying things because you are expressing displeasure at your public officials which is a sign of "terrorist behavior", oops you're using your blog to say things the government doesn't like they'll go ahead and delete that for you for national security. Oh you installed or even googled Tor well that is only used by drug dealers and terrorists so clearly you are a threat to national security they'll be cutting you off from internet access now.

This is very poor advice.
“If the FBI is in your box you’re already dead.”
No, in this case, they are fixing a hack. I don’t want them touching my stuff, but that’s hardly “dead”.
“Cheaper to buy a new box” Reinstalling and reconfiguring is always cheaper than buying new and reconfiguring.
This reasoning is very poor, why did you feel the need to make this comment?

Look, in The Netherlands, the largest grocery chain ( AH, Albert Heijn, Ahold ) has empty cheese shelves because their cheese-logistics-company got hacked through this vulnerability.
The Dutch, without cheese. Do you see the severity of the problem now?
Jeez.

What are you suggesting that by setting this precedent the US Government would use it to illegally and unconstitutionally harm people who are politically unpopular.
I do not think this would happen the US government is good the US government is right they protect you and keep you safe from evil terrorists who would try to hurt you. Please do not think about this too much, please go consume your next television show and remember to support any unpatriotic activity to your local authorities.

do you have an alternative? would you feel better if it wasn't FBI? or if these remained unfixed?

That's pretty commonplace to clean up worms and the like. Once security professionals decompile the code enough to figure out where the control mechanism is and how it works, they will take control of it and use its own methods to get rid of it.
