Ultimately all RMS's issues come down to "who do you trust?"
If you enable all your Google account privacy options - can you be sure that they do what they say they are doing? How do you know that? Can you be sure your information isn't being intercepted along the way?
If you trust Google then fine.
But if there is even the slightest amount of doubt then someone you trust (preferably you yourself) needs to audit the code and every pathway the data travels along before you can be absolutely sure.
- bostand 10y agoI don't think what you say really applies in this particular context. Sure you may 100% trust someones open code, but if you don't have any insight in their backend once again it comes down to who you trust the most.
