Re: A Moment of Silence #Foremembrance Today at 19:06 CET, 2:06 pm EDT, 11:06 am PDT, and Saturday at 2:06am in Hong Kong & Taipei

it was always the illusion of privacy. Stop using Microsoft.

How many extra people do you plan to kill for your completely uninformed
and irrelevant protest? Go screw with Bezos for his facial recognition
combined with Alexa voiceprint analysis, or Microsoft owning every piece of
intellectual property that hits their servers, combined with automatic
updates you cant turn off which installs 'games' designed to watch
everything you do.

I saw a job offering at Comcast where they were hiring ai and data
scientist to mine their several million data points they collect on each
viewer daily, cross referenced to their buying habits.

Go screw with the profiteering corporations.
