What hypocrisy are you referencing? I'm not really questioning the veracity of your list of items, to be clear. I just don't see anything that fits the definition of hypocrisy.


The hypocrisy is that Microsoft wants us to remember that we're getting Scroogled, but ignore that they are just as bad for privacy. Personally I don't care about hypocrisy; people can flip flop all the time, and maybe it indicates a flexible mind that updates based on new evidence.

What bothers me is the dishonest implication that Microsoft is good for privacy, and that the anxiety they wish to arouse for Google shouldn't be placed back on Microsoft.


Microsoft accused Google of spying on you and invading your privacy in a number of failed PR campaigns. It was then discovered that not only was Microsoft spying on you, but they took it to the next level with their links with the NSA, their invasion of a user's email and storage accounts and the built in spyware embedded into Windows 10.
