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
Yeah, until someone looks at their “security” :D
“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!
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
