EU Parliament Blocks Outlook Apps For Members Over Privacy Concerns

jfruh writes Microsoft last week released Outlook apps for iOS and Android, but one group that won't be getting to use them is members of the European Parliament. They've been advised by their tech staff that the apps are insecure and that they shouldn't download them — and if they have, they should change their Outlook passwords.

I'm given to understand they had some high ideals.

That's mostly propaganda, and a misunderstanding of the nature of the founding fathers. A small handful of them clearly had high ideals. But how can you take people seriously when they declare that all men are created equal and declare that they are starting a democracy, then fail to give the vote to over half the population? The truth is that they were creating a government in which they themselves (and their ilk) would hold the reins of power, and to this day the nation (like the world) is controlled by those who are both wealthy and racially privileged. It's a government by, of, and for money.
