You shouldn't automatically trust open source code just because its open source. There have been cases where something on github contains actual malicious code, but those are typically not very well known or don't have very many eyes on it. But in general open source code has the potential to be more trustworthy especially if its very popular and has a lot of eyes on it.

Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Governments are scary. Only organization that has a monopoly on force and will never face consequences.
