My post was about devices to be connected to debian main and other libre
gnulinux
systems. The argument on this forum is, your best option is to buy hardware
devices which run entirely on libre software.
The person I mentioned says, criminals and governments may put devices on
the market having botnet or surveillance software integrated. They will work
with debian main. Disclosing the botnet or surveillance software is
difficult.
He has not been able to display cases.
If you buy a device which supposedly works on libre software, I see no
practices in place to counter the mentioned botnet and surveillance
software. Likely there are no simple counter measures available to disclose
the botnet or surveillance software. Maybe wireshark and other pieces of
software I do not know about, are relevant in order to disclose the
botnet and surveillance software should it be there.
