SN 832: Microsoft's Culpable Negligence

I know I sound like a broken record when I dig up the self-aggrandising Microsoft quote:

I have a feeling that Microsoft’s behaviour will not change until we change the laws that increase the liability of software providers and, thus, increase their financial risk of doing nothing. Price it as painful as GDPR. That might help.

Tech firms that have grown to a size for society to be dependent on it and that then turn out to be worse and worse stewards of their responsibility will be the cause of crises.

„The world is starting to wake up to the fact that Microsoft is“ - you finish the sentence.
