ELI5, Why is Open Source Software considered safe if it can be accessed and changed by anyone?
In: Technology
People can see everything that people are trying to add to it, and they can object if they see something that doesn’t look right.
With closed source software, the public users have no idea what’s going into it or how the company is reviewing changes.
I would not say that open source software is automatically safe, but popular open source software is probably saf*er*.
