@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @plumeros@swiss.social @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online it's the absolute basic of security, not a guarantee. It's the auditability. If something is closed source you can't check whatever claims it wants to make.

If something is closed source you can't check whatever claims it wants to make. Having access to the source code does not provide the ability to avoid trusting the developers in practice. If it did, widely used projects like the Linux kernel would not have a massive stream of severe vulnerabilities being found which have been present for years and even decades in plain sight.
