Kinda sus... - Lemmy.World

The NSA, the original primary developer of SELinux, released the first version to the open source development community under the GNU GPL on December 22, 2000.[6] The software was merged into the mainline Linux kernel 2.6.0-test3, released on 8 August 2003. Other significant contributors include Red Hat, Network Associates, Secure Computing Corporation, Tresys Technology, and Trusted Computer Solutions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux]

I mean, it’s still Open Source, right? So it would be pretty hard for them to hide a backdoor or something??

I guess I don’t know what’s so sus when it’s easily auditable by the community and has been for two decades now.

If it’s just because it’s memes and you’re not being that serious, then disregard please.

Right but maybe it combined with other tools they have is what helps them with some exploit.
Like they figured out an exploit but needed SELinux as a piece of the puzzle. It’s open source
and we can all read the code but we can’t see the other pieces of the puzzle.

Come on, put your conspiracy hat on! ;)

This is why I use templeOS
Dude, that one got a spy built-in! Direct telemetry to god.
That explains why it doesn’t need internet
