Re: [Trisquel-users] is Debian GNU/Hurd free?

Every single proprietary component is a security and privacy risk. That  
doesn't mean it is actually spying on you. Actually, it almost never means it  
is spying on you. There are hundreds of thousands of proprietary programs out  
there. Admittedly we can't easily know that a given program is spying on us,  
but do you really believe there are so many immoral proprietary developers? I  
say the security risks are few and far between, because no matter how many  
examples of proprietary risks you can provide, I can provide infinitely more  
examples of proprietary software doing what the user wants.
