Frankly, “settings” in an OS don’t fill me with any more confidence than “settings” on Facebook: software has bugs, and other reasons for not working as advertised. A toggle switch coded with the best of intentions may still not be consulted everywhere that it should, and even software that is correct today can be wrong in 3 months when somebody important quits or a feature is added and nobody thought to check the setting for that new feature.
If this is important to you, demand more open and peer-reviewed source code, and demand that things run behind carefully-controlled walls like sandboxes and limited host files. Don’t just run your organization by trusting one software vendor.
