>I'm not making anything up, Google is actively seeking out child porn and people who upload it and that was something they publicly announced, so it's not bullshit.
If they publicly announced this, you shouldn't be having so much trouble coming up with a citation.
In addition, even if it's true, it's still totally irrelevant to this thread. This thread is not about Google, it's about Microsoft, and nobody is recommending Google cloud services or ChromeOS as an alternative to MS. And poor behavior on Google's part does not somehow make Microsoft okay.
>Windows is still a closed-source
>Who cares?
Anyone who doesn't want law enforcement rooting around in their computer with impunity.
>No, Windows is user-friendly. Unlike Linux, which is pretty ugly looking even if you use Ubuntu or similar Windows-like distro.
Windows is user-hostile because Microsoft flagrantly disregards its users' security and privacy, not because it's difficult to use. Go back in the thread, read slowly, sound out the words, and try to understand what's being discussed here.
>Also company that pretty much everyone codes for, so unless you want to run everything through WINE, you are going to use Windows.
There are Linux alternatives to the vast majority of software that the vast majority of people use the vast majority of the time. Apart from professional graphic artists, hardcore gamers, and a few others using very specialized software, Linux is a viable alternative these days. It's not 1998 anymore.
This is all irrelevant still, however, because this thread isn't about Linux marketshare or people switching to Linux. It's about whether Microsoft operating systems are trustworthy and can be relied upon to safeguard their users' security and privacy. They are not, and they cannot, and no amount of your trying to change the subject changes this fact.
>Also, again, every major company works with LEAs.
Totally irrelevant to the thread. Also, go back and read again slowly, since reading comprehension is apparently tough for you about the difference between passive and active cooperation.
>Plus you can't boycott a company just because they sometimes hurt their customers and are evil, you wouldn't have anyone to buy from.
That's a silly thing to say.
