I recently learned that my company prefers closed-source tools for privacy and security.

I don’t know whether the person who said that was just confused, but I am trying to come up with reasons to opt to closed-source for privacy.

    A very common strategy to divert blame away from yourself is, using fake security as a cover story, infecting yourself with anti-libre software, so you are banned from fixing its source code. Also, saying ‘open source’ is a strategy to derail libre software.
