Remember Obama going after Kaspersky and Macaffee?
And how we couldn’t really figure out what the purpose really was?
Turns out the FBI has a malware snoop program and they asked various antivirus companies to leave an exception in the definitions used to detect malware.
Kaspersky and Macaffee both told the feebs to pound sand.
Fast forward, Windows 10 calls home with enough data that malware backdoors aren’t needed.
Same with Google data collection.
I wouldn’t doubt that the feeb malware has been collected, decompiled, and repurposed already.

Add in self-reporting by all the nitwits on Facebook and the Feds have a total surveillance state. Of course all that data wont do them a bit of good in stopping terrorism when their goal is not stopping terrorism, but instead protecting the Deep State.
I remember the 1990s when libs threw a fit that Monica Lewinsky’s book purchase(s) at some store were subpoenaed (I think to corroborate some discussion on the tapes).
I told the libs that it was offensive that the bookstores even KEPT such records as to who purchased what, when. Transaction is done, go home like a whore. BEGONE.
First off, I love the Microsoft-bashing FReepers who can turn ANY article into something bad about MS. Bravo!
Second, please cite your sources.
Microsoft's privacy policy is pretty clear on what is collected, and there are dozens of settings both in the OS and associated with your MS account where you can control the data going to MS.
Further, there are hundreds of articles on how to adjust collection settings in Windows 10. If you're not concerned enough to search for it, then you're part of the problem.
