I caught a python ml library phoning home to a chinese server on a project that my company was building. My developer had no idea it was happening but I caught it first run thanks to lil snitch. If deployed this would've been a security escape that would need to be disclosed at a govt level.

Also, Apple. Their junk phones home just about everything you do. 50+ services constantly pinging Cupertino.

The exact reason that I use Deno is the sandbox, it will not run if something is calling an unknown endpoint.

“Junk phones”, lol. Gratuitous hate without any substance.
