Microsoft Defends Passport To Privacy Group

Posted by timothy on from the just-look-at-that-shine dept.

securitas writes: "CNET reports that Microsoft is defending Passport as safe and secure in a presentation to the Center for Democracy and Technology. Other organizations such as the Electronic Privacy Information Center, Junkbusters and even the U.S. government may be lobbied by MS this week to fend off a Federal Trade Commission complaint filed by 15 consumer and privacy groups that charges unfair and deceptive practices."

  1. But Information Wants to be free! by yuriwho · · Score: 2, Offtopic

    That's right, if you follow this mantra then you must agree that ultimately all of your information will be free on the net...what sites you have visited recently, your credit card info, your sexual preferences, who you work for, your favorite sports team etc, will be public domain. However, there is a solution, I heard it in a speech by my favorite man!.....

    To quote J.Jackson

    "If you choose, to use, your paaaaspoorrt, .. you desseerve to looooose yo privacy! Ahmen Brotha.. If you chooooses, to usess, an Allllternatitivvvve oppperatin system, such as my dear brotha's-- Leeeenux, and Bee eSss Deee, (that stands fo Brotha's Standdd Dogetha), or my personal fave, Mac OS X (Staand togetha now!!!! Hear me clear?) then you have notttthing to fearrrrr!!! Ahhhmmeeeenn Brotttha!.... For We Maaaayyy be fewww (Yes!, Yesssss!) and we Maaayyy be poooorrr (praisse godddd!), but we are brotha's in arms, Hallejjjjulla Brottttha!, Praissee the Loooooooooorrrrrrdd! The Lorrrrd does not need a passport, NO!!!. The Lord does not need Micros$$$$$ft, NO!!! He praises each and every one of of you, who do not commit the siiiiiinns of the ignoorant! Yea! He praises and encourages alllllll thooose who strive for freedom and equalitya on the Woooorld Wiiiiide Weeebbbbbb! Yeaah Brotha!!!

    If you are stuuupid enough to paaaaayyy! for this craap! Then we are prayin for ya, yea , we prayin fo yo'soulll. For you have fallen inta the bad mannnss hannnds! Chill! I can save ya! Just say afta me..... haich tee tee peee colon slash shash, doubleya doubleya doubleya, dot, sourceforge, dot, net. Ahhhhhmmeeennnn and Hallelullghia Brotha! Peace be wit you!"

    That was the best speech I have ever heard!!!! Vote Jackson!
