| I like Ars Technica sometimes, but their level of bias is ridiculous. There's an absurd amount of anti-Google and pro-Microsoft spin on pretty much everything they publish.
Here's an article where they argue that people who are concerned about privacy in Windows 10 are paranoid kooks who don't know what they're talking about. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/08/windows-10-privacy-paranoia-leads-to-ban-from-private-piracy-torrent-trackers/ Meanwhile, Microsoft's EULA explicitly gives them the ability to collect whatever data they want. The company hasn't issued an official statement about what they do or do not collect or will in the future. Even ont he strictest privacy settings (and good luck finding those), Windows 10 on the desktop "phones home" periodically and nobody has figured out quite what it's sending. Meanwhile, people have known for years that Microsoft's antivirus software scans your hard drive to find signatures of known malware, and even uploads those files to central servers for analysis. But the idea that MS would use this technology for anything else is just ABSURD. That's CRAZY TALK. Obviously, people who are concerned about this are just tinfoil hat kooks who we should laugh at. It's not like this is the company that attached an always-on camera to their games system-- oh wait, they did. It's not like this is the company that tried to ban used games-- oh wait. This wouldn't piss me off so much if their Julian Assange / Wikileaks / NSA articles weren't so ridiculously one-sided, in exactly the opposite direction. |
