A similar dangerous push by Microsft to listen in to phone calls
I should point out that Microsoft several months ago announced a similar
plan for listening in on phone calls looking for "suspicious
interactions" which would be offered via phone carriers. As with the
Google case, the ways in which such capabilities could be abused by
government entities is immense. And once the service exists, authorities
could order it secretly added to anyone's service and used to scan for
whatever sorts of conversations or keywords they desired. This is a
disastrous direction that these firms are moving in; there are almost no
words to adequately explain the nightmare scenarios such systems could
easily empower. -L
