What does Privacy Guides see as OpenSource?

:100:

Thereā€™s 0 doubt in my mind that open source has inherent privacy benefits.

What I donā€™t understand is people hearing ā€œopen source is good for privacyā€ and taking that to mean that all open source software is better than all closed source software. That seems like a completely irrelevant strawman :confused:


I am surprised we are 89 posts deep into this topic and yet nobody seems to have posted any counter arguments to my answer in post 23, and clarifications in posts 25 and 28. Iā€™m still happy with these posts as my answer to this question, and I am still getting the feeling that people largely agree.

Can anyone share why they disagree with me, or can we consider this issue resolved?
