If I was a big tech company, claiming to be PASSIONATE about customer privacy and security, while also trying to keep certain "entities" off my back, I would NOT create a "back door".

I'd create a vulnerability that only certain "entities" know about.

Then, if discovered, I'd patch it with a lot of fan fair, patting myself on the back.

Meanwhile, I'd create a new vulnerability for those same "entities".

Never assume we can trust proprietary companies.

Canva wird mit Der Affinity-Suite im laufe der Zeit genau das machen, was solche Firmen immer machen. Stück für Stück wird das jetzt noch "free" zum Bezahl-Dingens oder Abo umgewandelt werden.
Erstmal wird alles schön kostenfrei beworben, um so viele Menschen wie möglich einzufangen.
Schon jetzt wird die Cloud beworben.
Wenn genügend abhängig gemacht worden sind, beginnt die Metamorphose.
Ab diesem Zeitpunkt ist man in diesem Käfig genau so gefangen wie die Adobe-Jünger und deren Abhängigen.

Wir haben uns als Werbeagentur entschieden, erst gar nicht darauf zu warten, bis es soweit ist.
Komplett auf Linux und Open Source, wie Inkscape, Scribus, Kdenlive, etc. umgestiegen.
Ein sehr harter Schritt. Aber lieber jetzt - gerade wenn es so vorhersehbar ist, wie es kommen wird.

Wir spenden jetzt lieber das gesparte Geld den jeweiligen von uns genutzten Projekten :)
