So Apple iOS, Microsoft Windows, Amazon FireOS, Cisco IOS, Netapp ONTAP... they are all "not secure" because they are not OSS?

- eingaeKaiy8ujie 5y agoYes.
- approxim8ion 5y agoPotentially not secure and definitely not private, for most of them.
- bsd44 5y agoPotentially not secure is not the same as definitely not secure. OSS is also potentially not secure. I don't understand these comments. They seem like they were written by semi-literate adolescents.
- approxim8ion 5y agoI agree that being open source is not a guarantee of security or privacy. But there's a social contract which comes with it and the transparency that together make the projects more likely to at least be motivated towards those goals. > They seem like they were written by semi-literate adolescents. That's unnecessary.
