What non-US regime do you suspect Microsoft of leaking personal data to?
The US government is okay with companies leaking personal data to the US government.
Israel.
Check out stuxnet.
Stuxnet, the anti-nuclear-proliferation worm?
Stuxnet, the joint US and Israel project to exploit multiple zero-days found on Windows to wreak havoc on Iran's nuclear program.
You seem to be one of the people who think Israel gets to have nukes but not their enemies. Please admit if this is true or false.
No, I'd prefer that fewer rather than more different parties had nukes, because it's easier for fewer parties to agree not to use them. Would've been nice if the Soviets never got them, too, don't you agree?
Ahh. That's a real roundabout way of agreeing with what I said.
Thank you for your shame.
Anything to admit it's okay for Israel and the US to work together to exploit windows vulnerabilities, which is how this discussion began.
To be clear, I think it's a great idea for any humans who are capable of doing so to sabotage the ability of a country that doesn't currently have nuclear weapons to obtain them. The fewer different parties have nuclear weapons, the less likely it is that there will be more nuclear explosions on this planet.
It would have been better if Israel didn't have nuclear weapons.
It would have been better if the Soviet Union didn't have nuclear weapons.
I'll go way out on a limb here, and say everyone would be better off if literally no one had nukes. Call me crazy, but dying in a nuclear hellfire isn't exactly how I want to go.
Well, yes, but that's not really an option today. Non-proliferation is an option today: preventing the list of nuclear-armed powers from getting any longer.
Of course it's not. But a boy can dream
Any with the cash to pay M$.
Ahh america, never change.
I mean, please do.
