@kadu @RubberElectrons It doesn't have to be the company itself.
Imagine the unimaginable scenario where a group of hackers gains access to the company's network and servers and plants a malicious patch to be sent in the next update.
I wouldn't be afraid of the company exploiting this. I would be afraid that a bug or hacker can do whatever with my computer because I gave this software root access, and it gets remotely updated, has network access and can become an amazing tool in the wrong hands.

@Greenpepper @grob If/when Mastodon becomes more popular, at some stage it'll become a political battlefield just like all the mainstream (social) media. But I hope the federated nature of Mastodon can help mitigate that .
@Greenpepper Why did they have to put a political tag on Mastodon though? I don't like that. It's a place for everyone, not just the left-leaning people.
@kadu Duh, but leaving my front door open is really unnecessary.
I mean you do you. Thankfully I don't care :D
