Linspire in Google Trends
TECHRIGHTS barely covered Microsoft for more than half a decade, due for the most to patent focus, notably EPO scandals (since 2014) and the demise of software patents after Alice (also since 2014). Later tonight we'll explain why the USPTO cannot bring such patents back; only courts can.
The resurrected Linspire Linux distribution formerly known as Lindows is planning to enter the Linux server market as well as an upcoming "Office 365" edition.
"In the name of "combating child abuse" Microsoft engages in surveillance -- even GDPR-violating (i.e. illegal in the EU) surveillance -- on everything one does online."No, it's nonsense.
Microsoft "loves children" a little bit too much (naked even). It's probably not deliberate, but as some journalists are putting it (to quote a new headline), "Microsoft Refuses to Answer Key Questions About Child Porn in Bing's Search Results" (stay classy!).
Some have reported that Microsoft not only presents such results, but also recommends them (leading errand searchers to child pornography by means of refined search terms).
"Microsoft’s Bing search engine is facing heat for reportedly including images of child pornography in its search results," it says in the summary and there are many similar articles. So Microsoft is finally good at something; It's good when you're a pedophile...
"Microsoft has clearly not changed..."Microsoft's connection to child porn is rather irksome and it's definitely not about neutrality or free speech because, as TechDirt put it three days ago, Microsoft "LinkedIn Is Helping The Chinese Government Silence Critics" and Microsoft has already been censoring search results for China (somehow the media only blasts Google for merely thinking about doing the same).
Microsoft has clearly not changed; as we pointed out in our latest daily links, for example, "Microsoft Deactivated Some Windows 7 PCs With an Update" (as many had feared and repeatedly warned). There is no 'new' Microsoft. ⬆
