Unlike Meta/Alphabet, Microsoft actually has something that’s not shameful

That is a pretty low bar to have in tech. A few years ago spying on your users was seen as a grave sin. This was changed by large tech corporations that groomed their developers respectively so that they can justify it to themselves.
So being the least bad tech company isn't too convincing.
Who thinks spying on users is fine nowadays?
Off the top of my head, Project Zero?
I never forgave M$ for IE6 though, so I’m biased. A new generation is being lulled into thing they’re the good guys.

To be honest, yeah, I can't decide which one is the biggest anti-user shitshow. My personal favorite is YT which likes to make at least one universally disliked decision per year. But I'm sure everyone has their own.

Facebook marketplace is full of stolen goods boosted by meth heads that they won't do anything about.

And Facebook groups are full of posts advertising impersonation services aimed to bypass background checks at jobs, notably delivery and ridesharing services, for people with criminal background and people that do not pass e-verify.
I have reported them but Facebook won't do anything about them.
All the sweet monthly active users and the ad revenue!

Where do you think they got the motivation to form monopolies in their respective areas?
