Good god, Windows 10 is even worse a security disaster than anyone thought.

This morning in some free time I spooled up a Windows 10 VM and did some packet capture and can confirm 90% of this. The rest I haven’t checked.

Anyone casting doubt on this probably doesn’t know how to do a packet capture. This is absolutely occurring. However, what is actually being transmitted to Microsoft isn’t clear as it’s encrypted.

But you can pretty much assume everything, absolutely everything, is being sent to Microsoft.

Been seeing a spate of stories like this recently.

This tells me the waters are being prepared, efforts are being made, to start a push to legally sanction ad blocking tools, and to get them banned from sites like the Mozilla add-on site and others.

Guaranteed this will happen. Blocking ads will be conflated with “piracy” and called theft.

Just a matter of time.
