The biggest spyware vendor? What role is Microsoft playing here?
- Aeolun 4y agoMicrosoft is selling to your employer. Google is selling you. I’m kind of inclined to give MS the benefit here.
- parkingrift 4y agoOne where they collect and sell an order of magnitude less data. Maybe 2 orders of magnitude.
- pretext-1 4y agolol have you heard of ... Windows 10? No OS collects more usage data. And no you can't disable it. And if you try, it will re-enable tracking after some updates.
- parkingrift 4y agoHave you heard of… Google? Search, Gmail, Maps, Android, YouTube, Smart Assistants, home security cameras, thermostats, Chrome, and more, and more, and more. I’ll stick with my assertion that Google collects 1-3 orders of magnitude more data than Microsoft.
- pretext-1 4y agoThose are services not OS. And Microsoft services are no different. Difference is that Google is more successful (has more users and services and therefore more data).
- chipsa 4y agoMS wants to sell software. Google wants to sell ads.
- shkkmo 4y agoRight, a "vendor" is someone who sells something. Microsoft is a the world's largest spyware vendor because Google gives their spyware away for free.
