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.

I work in another big4 company, and I have a strong feeling that your claims apply to us as well.

It's funny though that before joining the company, employees are forced to sign some documents about anti-corruption policies.

That's sad, but it is the world we live in.

We trust our medical records to insurance companies, that hire big consulting firms, that don't know how to protect data or promote affiliate services. I love this world.
