They bought Skype and turned over the keys to it, to the NSA. Did it seriously hurt their reputation?
They added telemetry which can't be easily disabled, to all parts of Windows desktop OS - did that seriously hurt their reputation?
Supposedly they sell stuff to the DIA, DoD and NSA - what is the long term reputational damage from that?
They sell stuff to police departments, like the Ferguson police that (allegedly/from one point of view) shoot dead black men - any feedback from that?
- anigbrowl 8y agoFor all we know it's this pattern of behavior that has motivated this current pushback by Microsoft staff. I'm sure you're aware that some political issues attract wider attention than others, and that while people rarely march in the streets to protest the NSA the same is not true of other agencies.
- PrimHelios 8y ago>allegedly/from one point of view What's alleged is whether or not the shootings were legal. It isn't a point of view that those men are dead because of a cop. EDIT: Downvoted for stating a fact.
