It's a better marketing indeed, but that doesn't answers the op's question.
Between something opensource and trusted, and a proprietary potential backdoor that can send the data back to the Zuck himself you'd probably want to choose the former (cause you never know with closed sources).
I'm glad that he has shared the link as for me it's definitely useful. It's not a competition and I don't care what media talk, that's not about money.

Outside of that, this project giving scary warnings is something I cannot recommend to others. > Between something opensource and trusted and proprietary backdoor that can send the data back to the Zuck himself you'd probably want to choose the former. Only HN veterans care about this, not people in the real world.
