Protect your privacy by running this proprietary application!

  ...which is deeply installed into your system and has (had) plenty bugs for others to exploit. i guess it can protect your privacy but also makes your system less secure to advanced attacks. Same thing can be said of AV-scanners.

  This proprietary application has been under development for almost a decade. While it has had it's share of vulnerabilities as would any application it's age, they've also had that long to develop a reputation in the MacOS ecosystem. I'm no expert on LittleSnitch or Objective Development, the company behind it, but I can't remember any time they've been caught doing shady or unethical things in the time I've been using it (since about 1.x days). The last disclosed vulnerability that comes to mind (CVE-2016-8661), while being a nasty privilege escalation, was responsibly disclosed and quickly dealt with.

  On a proprietary hardware, with a proprietary firmware and communicating over a network you don't control end-to-end! Better don't start thinking about the other end... ;)

    You're right! The situation isn't perfect so we should just give up!
