Thanks for mentioning my blog item about Microsoft’s “digital McCarthyism” in your blog.

Far-fetched? Don’t be so sure. The degree of FUD — whether it was by Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn in the early ’50s with the Red Scare or with the misinformation Microsoft doles out today — is arguably comparable.

We’ll just have to see how this plays out.
