Do you have a source for the source code not being released for “national security”?
- cyphar 6y agoThey didn't say it was for national security ("or some other such rubbish" was the point I was making -- that it was a bullshit reason, not that it was a direct quote). The Health Minister claimed that having the source code public would make it easier to hack[1]. But it's just as ridiculous of a statement.

- lukevdp 6y agoFrom that article: “The first thing we want to do is make sure that we're protecting the safety and the privacy of individuals. Everything that can be released, will be, for sure,” I don’t share your cynicism but I do hope that “everything” means everything.
