I agree, these decisions in 2024 are thoroughly vetted. I think the only thing these companies don't know is when the news cycle will pick up on something they're doing and they get blowback, and they'll have to pretend this was some little oversight.

Honestly, it has the smell of an NSA pressure campaign which would also rake in the money like nobodies business.. an easy choice for Microsoft. They are as guilty as sin for turning everything they create into a surveillance product.

I was just remembering today what they did to the security/encryption as soon as they bought over Skype… they removed it. And who would that benefit - the spies.

No-one cared about that. No-one ever cares. Except for this rare occasion - tides are turning and people are starting to care a tad more.
