Hi, Georg from https://gofoss.net https://gofoss.net here. I'm not a security expert. Heck, I'm not even a hacker. So take this comment with a pinch of salt. For all its merits, Free Software is not free from criticism. This includes security vulnerabilities. On the flip side, keeping the source code a secret doesn’t necessarily increase security. Arguing that closed source code is vastly more secure than FOSS conveniently omits the fact that proprietary stacks are increasingly built on top of open source code. Sure, FOSS is not immune to security breaches. But neither are proprietary solutions, as illustrated by the leaks of a billion people’s data from Facebook, LinkedIn and Clubhouse. Or the spectacular security attacks against SolarWind and Colonial Pipeline. I do believe that Free Software is instrumental in promoting online privacy. For nearly forty years, FOSS has been encouraging developers to audit the code, fix issues and ensure nothing shady goes on in the background. Ultimately, FOSS is not only about technology. It’s about social, political and economic emancipation.
