I may just have my tinfoil hat on too tight, however, there’s not a chance that I’ll trust a Chinese application with any of my personal information.
I honestly don't get this... if they wanted to backdoor something, it won't be an OSS app, where the code is accessible to every-person and their dog.
Then on top of this, they basically have access to all you're home network with IOT devices (and every other piece of electronics produced there), in addition to all your kids phones (assuming you have some) via TikTok etc..
There is some quality OSS coming from China, and this will increase... and it should be promoted.. the more the merrier!
I don’t care what others do, however, I just have no interest storing documents with my SSN on their software.
Could I go through the 50K+ lines of code (even though I’m not proficient with Go) looking for something nefarious…sure. Will I given that trusted software such as Nextcloud exists and is also free…nope.
