The comment section on this article is a little bit of hell.

Also, I get that this is part of Microsoft’s duties for its own OS security. But the role it has seems to be a bit too large. Currently it seems, even though it is seemingly working for the benefit of Ukraine in the conflict, that they could choose to aid Russia at any time. I don’t think I like them having such capacity. Being able to interfere in such events in such a drastic degree, if they choose to. Interference in politics in such a direct manner, even if aid with ‘intelligence’ is one of their offerings, cannot really be removed from their capability here. These are basics of state… just what are modern politicians doing. I’d say it is not so much the governments in specific places (like the US) running their regions anymore.
