How can I be sure this project isn't sponsored by XYZ government secret agency and that more than 1GB of data does not contain any surveillance software?

- laurent123456 3y agoThey appear to support reproducible builds, which would make it a lot harder to sneak in surveillance software - https://tails.net/contribute/design/reproducibility/ https://tails.net/contribute/design/reproducibility/
- slim 3y agoyou can't. but here are some reasons XYZ should not target Tails specifically : - People who use Tails are not interesting data collection targets - They have already access to people using Tails by other means - It's just Linux. So their 0days could work with little effort in case they need it. - The main purpose of Tor being an opensource project is plausible deniability for CIA agents using it. The main purpose of Tails (which is really a UX focused project) is more plausible deniability. They wouldn't ruin it by making a different "clean" version for their agents.
