Summary: "I responded to electoral-vote.com because they mentioned Microsoft as the "good guy"," writes DaemonFC. "For taking down some ransomware (with lawyers, of course)."
I just can't let this slide. ("Microsoft shuts down a hacking [sic] operation.")
"The more Bill Gates talks about Coronavirus vaccines (in bought and paid for editorials....he has no college degree), the fewer people want to take one when it's available. People know how shifty he (and Microsoft) is."That's just some of the reasons I just use Kubuntu Linux on my computer.

In fact, Trump is trying to subsidize Microsoft by giving them the JEDI contract with no bidding, which is what led to the Amazon lawsuit. They're his friends, and they even promoted his tax scam in their SEC report this year. ⬆
Editorial comment: Shame on TheHill for characterising the company that puts back doors in everything as the saviour/redemption from security threats. Also see this bit about how it was a lawyer's job, not a technical solution.
