I think that this would be great, since source code auditing would provide insight into anti-consumer additions like malicious backdoors, hidden spyware capabilities, unintended vulnerabilities, etc. However, this could be very bad if this passes and then escalates to mandatory source code modification at the request of a sovereign state. As always, there are possible pros and cons to this approach.

    lol good luck. Apple already told you to pound sand when you demanded to install state run apps, and now you think you’re getting the source code?
