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.

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

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.

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.
