    If you can’t understand the technology behind it

    it seems it is you, that have no idea how technology works. “open source” won’t solve being able to prove it does not send anything more it needs, when the implementations will be black boxes, with obfuscated verification software as is recommended by guidelines governmental projects intend to follow, as you can see in this very long thread
