I gotta rant about this. We all know that Billy boy Gates is a douche bag, but his company is apparently data mining emails and phone numbers which he or they can ostensibly connect together, and either sell, or use for nefarious reasons. For example, they bought a game called Minecraft, I'm sure most of you are probably familiar with it. They have been trying to FORCE owners of the game, many, or most of whom, have had bought and paid for it years ago, to now be FORCED into creating a microsoft account, just to play a game they paid for many years ago. They seem to really, really want to get their grubby, totalitarian hands on YOUR info. They FORCE you to supply a phone number to, "verify," your account, after you have already supplied a valid email addy. Using typical leftist bullshit, they say it's for, "your security," as they force you to supply the information they want. Essentially, it's extortion. Give us your info or you can't use a product that we didn't even make, but now control.
Fuck those assholes. Now, I realize we have bigger fish to fry, but I suspect Billy and his, "company," are all tied into this, so it would be like killing two birds with one stone. Okay, rant over. Damn those assholes piss me off.
