| "just context" is important. i get that everyone has a frothing-at-the-mouth extreme hatred to microsoft and its employees. but microsoft did not say "fuck jason, fuck wireguard, lets try and shut that down". that would be a way different story. |

| What's the accountability mechanism here? Make a big fuss online and hope the bad press outweighs the negligence? |

| ▲ | john_strinlai 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | i point out in my original comment that i think it is stupid that the only way to resolve this sort of thing is via social media. i think it is insane. and the lack of accountability is also crazy, given the influence microsoft (and other big tech) has over everyday life. i think people are reading my comment as some sort of defense of microsoft. its not. all i wanted to emphasize was that this incident, while obviously ridiculous, did not come about because a bunch of microsoft employees sat in a cigar-smoke filled room saying "lets destroy wireguard". |

| It doesn't matter. They are doing things that are clearly hostile to users, they should pay dearly for it. |
