  It added that Microsoft “is not in the business of facilitating the mass surveillance of civilians.”

  Isn’t that the whole point of Windows 11? Mass surveillance of your userbase? 🤔

    They are ‘customers’ not ‘civilians’. Totally different thing, pinky swear.

    No.

    Anonymous telemetry that tells you what percent of users clicked a button is not surveillance.

      Yes, those people are not serious at all, don’t they know that Microsoft is anonymizing all the data. For any data point, they can’t tell who or even where it was. Even the screenshots and audio recordings only have anonymous tracking IDs, they don’t store date, or your exact name or any other metadata. They know how important privacy is to their users and that it would be crazy to use the automatic update system for anything other than installing security patches.

  He added: “We do not provide technology to facilitate mass surveillance of civilians.”

  Genocide is fine, mass surveillance is a step too far.

    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think Microsoft provides software or hardware that facilitates shooting anything.

  This is probably more due to user data laws rather than ideological opposition, but I’ll take the win.

  Only after supporting the murder of thousands of people.

  Journalism and activism work.

    They told us journalism is dead, but they have really just driven it underground and made us uncomfortable to listen to it because it sounds like crazy talk compared to the rotten corporate media. Until the crazy talk keeps happening and evidence keeps piling up until it finally turns out to be true. Support your local crazy person today. They may simply be a rogue journalist in disguise.

  Fuck them. I cancelled Game Pass and installed Linux. Microsoft have blood on their hands.
