A Gift That Keeps on Giving: Microsofters Reveal a Campaign of SLAPP, Seeking to Censor Critical Information About Lawsuits Against Microsoft
$9 billion in damages! It's more than half what Microsoft has left.
THIS years-old article about Microsoft "GitHub's Copilot in Court ($9 Billion in Damages)" has truly struck a nerve. Microsoft seems desperate to take it down. Microsofters try to extort us over it. But that's just showing Microsoft's antics and tactics against critics. Microsoft is people and those people are sociopaths who wrongly assume they can suppress critics online. As such, we've begun illuminating things to watch out for. As we show some of the tactics we're expecting to hear from more people subjected to similar tactics. The people who do the SLAPPing come from the same country whose leader is a convicted felon who sexually assaults women and then boasts in public that he's above every law.
Maybe in the US they could get their way (the leader or dictator also believes he can just oust any judge who rules against him), but not here in Europe. All they can get here or mockery and ridicule. In turn, Microsoft as the "ringleader" will eat crow and no amount of censorship will undo the damage. If you're going to start a SLAPP campaign, make sure it can go somewhere. Otherwise, it is a shot in one's own foot. █
