Security Considerations
While googlesource.com is an established platform, these capabilities require extra vigilance.
File Hosting
googlesource.com
allows users to upload and share files. Any file you download was uploaded by another user—not the platform operator. Scan downloads with antivirus software and only download from sources you trust.
User-Generated Content
googlesource.com
hosts content created by its users, not the platform operator. Individual posts, profiles, or pages may contain scams, misinformation, or phishing attempts that the platform hasn't yet detected or removed.
