I see a lot of criticism that this is self-serving by Microsoft, that they’re advocating for regulation that will hurt their competitors like Google and Amazon much harder than themselves. I say... *that’s great.” Privacy advocates can get one of the world’s most powerful companies as an ally, just by a common self interest. I don’t mind that this is self serving from Microsoft, I hope they are successful. Other allies could be the media companies hurt by Facebook, advertisers bidding up each other on Google, etc. there should be a selfish coalition of privacy defenders just to protect their own businesses.
