would it matter if the server was open source? You'd know have no proof what is what they run on the actual server anyway, nor can you use a custom server.

- ale42 2y agoIt can matter if you can trust them to do the proper thing, i.e. if you assume they are not a malicious entity. In this case, checking the server source code can give experts insights about possible security risks. If you assume they are malicious, (a) I wouldn't use their product in the first point, and (b) of course they can do whatever they want independently from the published code.
