THE EPO-Microsoft scandal will still be covered next week and over the weekend. It's a privacy blunder bigger than any of Benoît Battistelli's, but media in the pockets of the litigation profiteers wants us to think António Campinos is better or good enough. Even when he's pressuring judges to allow European software patents -- to the point where he can get his way with stacked panels.

"This is how the EPO is handling supposedly 'encrypted' files, in effect giving Microsoft all the passwords or passphrases for decryption."When it comes to privacy abuses, we're far from done. We still have lots of documents to show and discuss. The EPO's response to us was pure waffle. It did nothing to debunk what we had shown. The warning signs are even in the news right now. The Microsoft booster Lawrence Abrams seems to be growingly concerned that a "mysterious bug" is deleting Microsoft Teams files. ("Mysterious" means secret code, which cannot even be audited; there have been numerous Skype scandals over surveillance on chats in real-time including Microsoft following hyperlinks in conversations)

Microsoft Teams and Skype aren't suitable for anything to do with encryption. This is how the EPO is handling supposedly 'encrypted' files, in effect giving Microsoft all the passwords or passphrases for decryption. This in insanity. It's buggy software that's more like a bug (as in spying device).

Will the Administrative Council put an end to this Microsoft outsourcing contract, which is clearly illegal? ⬆
