this issue was found specifically because these things are open source.

the ethos of open source is that bugs and malicious code are more likely to be spotted.

we’re discussing this on hn right now strictly because the code is open, the abusive code was found because it is open.

abusive people will make abusive software. the problem lies in the fact that despite absolutely having the resources, microsoft won’t do anything about it, not in the fact that we can see the abuse.

the problem is microsoft, yet again.
