@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online iOS is closed source, so nobody will ever find any backdoors in the software, even if the hardware offers to implement a high level of security. Do I miss anything?

    @plumeros@swiss.social @GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online Nope. Now, closed source is also problematic as well if decisions were made at the top...

  • @plumeros@swiss.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online No, that's not how closed source and open source work at all. Closed source software is not a black box. Open source absolutely doesn't mean that all or most vulnerabilities get discovered. Linux kernel has many severe vulnerabilities being found on a regular basis which have existed for years and even decades. Most projects are not getting anything close to that much review. It certainly doesn't mean that an intentionally hidden subtle vulnerability will be found.
