Rather disturbing and makes me glad I have resisted the siren call from Microsoft constantly:
SO THE TECH COMPANIES ARE JUST AN ARM OF THE GOVERNMENT NOW: Windows 10 covertly sends your disk-encryption keys to Microsoft. And under the “third party doctrine,” the government can get them from Microsoft without a warrant. But wait, there’s more:
Windows 10 has many unprecedented anti-user features: a remote killswitch that lets it disable your hardware; keylogging and browser-history logging that, by default, sends it all to Microsoft, and a deceptive “privacy mode” that continues to exfiltrate your data, even when you turn it on.
I don’t trust these guys.
Me either. It’s like Microsoft believes it not only just owns the operating system, Windows 10, but also anything it touches. Which means all your data and you. The government is supposed to get a warrant for getting at your stuff – it should be the same even if from a third party. But the fact that Microsoft willingly (and secretly) is OK with this?
