@GrapheneOS@grapheneos.social @plumeros@swiss.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online your generic statement "closed source software isn't a black box" is generally false. You could have just said "iOS isn't a black box".

@hyc@mastodon.social @plumeros@swiss.social @globcoco@mamot.fr @Uddelhexe@mastodon.online You can read what we said as closed source software not inherently being a black box and reviewing what it does not being an insurmountable task orders of magnitudes harder than reviewing an open source project with the same level of depth. Source code can have very subtle intentional security holes and can take advantage of the medium to hide those. The topic was claims about backdoors in iOS vs. a similar scale open source OS. https://www.underhanded-c.org/
