THROUGHOUT the day today Techrights received a lot of support from former Microsoft staff, which now knows what Microsoft is really like (having become victimised). A post of ours from earlier this year went viral, reaching perhaps 100,000 people.

"Microsoft fired its previous Chief Privacy Officer for suggesting real privacy..."The context of it all and what got it all started was a post of mine about the latest Microsoft layoffs. "Acquisitor of Nokia’s mobile phone business," said Microsoft-friendly media, "technology firm Microsoft is planning major reductions to its IT department. The cuts are to be included in the 1,050 jobs that last August the company announced would be culled from its Finnish operations."

Notice the date. This is how Microsoft celebrates Easter in Finland, having just recently fired many Chinese on Chinese New Year. It's part of a trend of sadistic Microsoft layoffs, often disguised as anything but layoffs. People from Microsoft have told me that the work environment is getting worse, as more employees get squeezed into smaller offices and some are laid off without being accounted for (contracting tricks with no assurances of continuation).

Microsoft dropped a real privacy officer, which says a lot about Microsoft's real attitude towards privacy. Microsoft only ever needs to pretend to care about privacy (e.g. using a show trial in Ireland for media manipulation) while creating back doors in their products. Anything else cannot be tolerated.

Microsoft fired its previous Chief Privacy Officer for suggesting real privacy and the existing Microsoft "Chief Privacy Officer" is doing it 'right'; he has just dropped privacy (news from 5 days ago) and then sought to justify it. "Microsoft chief privacy officer," according to this article, is the very opposite of pro-privacy. It's just like heading "trustworthy" computing for Microsoft, meaning the very opposite of what it's called.

Microsoft wants to hire sociopaths, retain liars, and get rid (fire) those who don't fit such criteria. ⬆
