If you can't see it, technically this is a Schrödingers cat problem.
The site is both telling the truth and lying at the same time, in a state of superposition.
Only be observing the code would you fall onto one reality.
Although there are people who can observe the code, which differs from the metaphor slightly.
I think one should distrust services that claim to be privacy-respecting without wanting to be opensource. Like, what are they hiding?
I understand the ethos here but you have to appreciate the irony in that statement.
Indeed.
To torture the metaphor further, would you trust Schrödinger to sell you a cat if it might not be alive when you open the box?
