Ask HN: Making closed-source software that handles personal data illegal?

Posted by seven-dev on Wednesday September 14, 2016 @04:46PM
from the ask-hn dept.

Basically, if someone is handling your personal data, you need to be able to know exactly what they're doing with it.Of course they'll always have other ways to access that data but it would be a good start.That would also mean that the server would have to be as secure as possible because the code would be open to the public.What do you guys think?

I'm pretty sure all browser extensions are "open source" but I get what you're saying.

I support it 100%. I love Google but they have too much power and I'm sure they'll start taking advantage of that soon (like they did with Google+ and Youtube).
