Exactly. Microsoft have a lot to answer for with their ‘tools’ for data analysis. Every single hedge fund was using Excel leading up to the 2008 financial crisis. It’s sickening. /s

Has MS worked with government to make it easier to call up records of my hemorrhoids or eczema?

If so, I'll reserve some hate for MS, too.

With billions of people on this planet, some terrorist kingpin and I might have the same birthmark on our ankle. Thanks to the work Palantir does, that could result in law enforcement swatting me, or worse. That is sickening.
