Comment on German Chancellor promotes government cloud from SAP and Microsoft

Sovereignity by ditching open source software for a proprietary solution made by a US company? How depraved is our dear Bundeskanzler?! The source code of each software update will be made available to the German service provider. Does Scholz really expect someone checking it thoroughly, each time?

SAP is German.
Let's not pretend that people do this with open source software either. Especially obfuscated mechanisms might not even be seen by the few people who do check it.

Probably referring to Microsoft. That’s the one of the two with all the cloud experience

I’m aware you can intentionally try to make source code unreadable but I do not know of any examples. Do you?

They meant backdoors hidden in plain sight, so making it readable, but innocent. People do that.

People notice the oddest things, look at the xz malware incident. All because some guy figured a decompression subroutine in his software was taking a bit longer than expected.
