Moriel :transgender_flag:Attention Canadians, French people, and anyone outside the United States: Microsoft says your country's data protection laws are void and null if the US government says so. Microsoft will turn over any and all information about you to the US government at that government's request no matter what your country's laws say. Time to stop using Microsoft if you value your own privacy and your nation's sovereignty.And hey, fellow Americans: time for you to stop using Microsoft, too, and start putting your data overseas in the servers of non-American countries. The only way any of us are going to protect our privacy is to have as little to do with our own country as is possible, and in the digital realm, there's actually a lot we can do. My Mastodon server is not the US. My personal server and email is not in the US. My company email is not in the US. I don't use Google or Meta at all, and the only thing I "use" Microsoft for is Visual Studio, which I'm even moving away from now that I'm getting out of programming for good.Take back your privacy by boycotting the companies willing to spy on you, either for their own profit or for the corrupt, fascist American government. <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Microsoft</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/France" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#France</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/UnitedStates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#UnitedStates</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privacy</a> <a href="https://chaosfem.tw/tags/DataPrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataPrivacy</a> <a href="https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/microsoft-says-u-s-law-takes-precedence-over-canadian-data-sovereignty/article" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.digitaljournal.com/tech-science/microsoft-says-u-s-law-takes-precedence-over-canadian-data-sovereignty/article</a>

NoahThe US threatens to ban <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/tiktok" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#tiktok</a> because they could, as a company based in China, be forced to reveal data about users in the US.

So now we have <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#microsoft</a> in talks to buy an app that is as much spyware as any other social media app made in the US.They're saying that US laws take precedence over the <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/DataSovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DataSovereignty</a> of other countries, specifically in reference to this violating both <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Canada</a> and <a href="https://10base2.dev/tags/EuropeanUnion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EuropeanUnion</a> data privacy laws. That just sounds to me like the current fascist regime in the US wants a super easy way to spy on their own people and they're getting a way to spy on the rest of the world too unless I'm missing the point.I *really* hope the rest of the world shuts this shit down and kicks Microsoft to the curb. I'm not excited about watching the market tank, and my ability to retire on those savings go up in smoke, but money is the only thing this Kakistocracy cares about and it's the quickest way to get these schmucks to turn on Dampnut.
