| schestowitz[TR2] | By my count Gates has committed at least five felony crimes over the years, and if he did not cut a deal with the DOJ to give the FBI unfettered back door access to every Microsoft product since 1995, he'd be behind bars today. | Jun 11 05:30 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Recall that: | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Skype was originally a P2P technology from a European company with end-to-end encryption so it couldn't be easily monitored by the US. | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Microsoft bought Skype, got rid of the P2P part, and added NSA backdoors | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I imagine half the outcry about TikTok is: | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | US politicians are worried that the US's required "lawful intercept"/CALEA features like this AT&T feature aren't as easily available in TikTok as they are for Meta or Alphabet or Apple products and other US based services that happily sell the data. | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The other half of the issue is that the US worries that China may do similar. | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | But of course in reality, TikTok already provides such access to the US government too when presented with a legal warrant. And similarly Microsoft collaborates with China's government where required by their laws. No matter who runs TikTok, they'll understand how important it is to follow the laws of whatever countries they're doing busineness in - and look to similar historical precedents, like when all except for one US Telecom | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | company permitted such spying, it did NOT go well for the CEO of the one who refused. | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | It's the same reason the US encourages their European allies to use Cisco instead of other telecom equipment providers | Jun 11 05:30 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | A sale of TikTok to a US company would also make projects like this CIA project easier. | Jun 11 05:30 |

It resolves many of the issues first-time migrants from Windows might face, while avoiding some of the complexities that other Ubuntu downstream distros, such as Linux Mint and Zorin OS, introduce.
