Wow that's a shite article. It starts with "This post is kinda tech-heavy" and then never gets tech heavy.
The "I think I'm going to panic" section is super condescending. It obviously does give surveillance capabilities it didn't previously have: I could previously disallowed the user that was running a game from viewing a file, and Windows would respect that. The game might crash, but it would not have accessed the file.
They are being directly misleading in the article and trying to use technical terms to confuse people. Ick.
- anonymousab 7y agoYeah. I'd question the motivation of any explanation that obscures the "yes, it does enable all of those BadThings but we promise to do our best not to exploit them and here's why we can be trusted" truth of the matter. That said, they're writing for multiple gun-jumpy audiences so I don't think they lose all of the benefit of the doubt here. Just that this isn't good enough at the moment/yet.
