Commercial for OnStar "safety" feature:
Police: "We've spotted the stolen SUV."
Helpful OnStar Operator: "I'm shutting the engine down now."
"Police: "We got 'em. Thanks."
Just because something CAN be done doesn't mean it SHOULD be done.
ISTR reading here or at kindred sites about 1. The publicizing of the formula for black power during the American War of Independence, and 2. A similar publication of some gun plans by one of the most famous inventors.
Both serve to illustrate that technology that is proprietary and secret does not work for freedom
The same principle applies all the more to software. Those of us who
insist on using closed source software may well find that those binaries do more than the user intended or wanted. Sat. sap.

P.S. Free Software != Open Source.
There's a difference there too.
