    You can’t verify that they actually run that on their servers.

      So, they operate a repo of open source code as a cover for their internal repo of completely different code?

        I’m not saying they do that. But you have to trust them that they don’t do it. You can never proof it.

          Are there any non-self-hosted services where that’s not the case?

            No. That’s why I wouldn’t trust protections that depend on something serverside, like encryption in the web client.

            No. It’s an inherit compromice you have to deal with. At least with email hosting. There are services where you can proof that no one was listening in but with email thats not possible.

        That is not entirely impossible. Owner spent time in US lobbying, and tech folks that do that are often horrible, careless, and unethical people.
