The irony -

Microsoft -
the greatest internet spies in the world -
stealing nearly everyone's data -
now in charge of security - WTF?

Has Albo gone soft in the head?

Correct Bobby

People think that Bill gates just started up this Goliath in his garage
They think that Larry page at Google just had a good search engine

If you go back and check the history
Neither Microsoft nor Google nor Facebook for that matter would exist without the incredible injection of funds from the intelligence community
And the intelligence community running defense
In order to take out any opposition startups

The Twitter files revealed that the intelligence community sit on the board of these companies
The intelligence community tell them who is to be promoted and who is to be de platformed


Microsoft is totally in bed with the government in surveilling the population

People probably remember the massive lawsuits between Microsoft and Google back in the 90s

These all just stopped
Went away

The government Microsoft and Google made a deal to share intel and share the market

There is zero difference between Microsoft and Huawei
In terms of their relationship with government

It's the same dynamic

Looks like aquascoot has that "mistresses and yachts" envy again like he's had going with Pfizer and their vaccines for several years now.

Pretty lame if you ask me. But, we are talking about aqua here.

Enough said.

I read somewhere that Bill Gates was forced to hand over
the entire source code to the US Govt. for Win95
even though it was Microsoft intellectual property.

Tech giant Microsoft will help Australia build a "cyber shield" to fend off global online threats under a plan to sink billions of dollars into securing and expanding the national digital economy.
Key points:





    Anthony Albanese is in the US at the invitation of Joe Biden
    He joined Microsoft's president to announce the tech giant's $5 billion investment in Australia
    The company will work with Australia's online security agency on the cyber-shield project

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Microsoft president Brad Smith unveiled the plan at the Australian embassy in Washington, DC on the first day of the PM's official visit to the US.

Microsoft says the project is part of its biggest investment in Australia in its 40-year history: a $5 billion plan to expand infrastructure and skills, with a focus on cloud technology and artificial intelligence.

The company will work with the Australian Signals Directorate — the national agency responsible for cybersecurity and online warfare — to build the cyber shield, dubbed MACS (Microsoft-Australian Signals Directorate Cyber Shield).

Without naming specific countries, Microsoft said it would have a focus on "defending against sophisticated nation-state cyber threats".

Asked about the plan being aimed at countering the threat of China, Mr Albanese said it was "aimed at strengthening Australia".

He said it was one of the first steps in the Australian Cyber Security Strategy, announced after last year's Optus and Medibank hack scandals and aimed at making Australia "the world’s most cyber-secure nation" by 2030.

And after that he's off to China to meet with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang.

Milking that one term for all it's worth as I've mentioned before.

Oh, and...

Nobody kisses ass like @AlboMP

Absolutely.

Carl, Carl, Carl.    Very few people can get next to Kevin07 for air travel and going O/S except one...Tony Abbot.  That guy was never here!   When overseas representing Australia ,the man was an utter embarrassment and part of the reason we looked like fu@#en idiots to the rest of the world.  Shirtfront anyone?    Turnball wasn't too bad, at least the man had some form of diplomacy and reasoning, but nearly as bad as Abbott was Morrison.    Now, if anyone is the reason for Albanese being overseas it is that fool.   Australian Farmers, Fisherman and Wine Growers and exporters are still recovering from that Man totally ruining a lot of overseas trade.  I am no Labor no Liberalite anymore but Albanese has a lot of mending to do before we are anywhere near back to normal trade with our main partners.
