> A common refrain in arguments that we don't need to reject closed source software to protect privacy is that being closed source doesn't hide the behaviour, and people will still notice backdoors and privacy leaks.

For instance: a privacy leak that only uses the cell network connection of a phone, which would avoid easily-sniffed connections.
