MS will erect another campus and things will go back to “normal”. Hopefully this will last at this time…

Good documentary about MS hold over German government: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duaYLW7LQvg

Any form of surveillance used by any government will be used primarily for political reasons, against non-criminals. There is no such thing as Good Spyware.

BTW: Google does the same for Andorid (get your data dump and see for yourself) - every application start and stop is recorded, metadata from your e-mail, etc…;

NOT surveillance, this is to help optimize technology use. /s

This is just “telemetry”. We have that in all Windows (including server) for years now… nothing to worry. This is NOT surveillance. /s

“3 billion” devices with multiple vulnerabilities that sound like RCE via things like video playback with “fixing them requires a long chain of communication between many vendors, manufacturers and resellers” sounds like a total disaster to me. Many (most?) Android phones in use will never see an update!
