>Microsoft will ban 'offensive language' and 'inappropriate content' from Skype, Xbox, Office and other services on May 1, claiming it has the right to go through your private data to 'investigate.' >But how would Microsoft even know if you had truly been “offensive”? Well, that part falls under Code of Conduct Enforcement, which states, “When investigating alleged violations of these Terms, Microsoft reserves the right to review Your Content in order to resolve the issue.” >Some folks believe the changes in Microsoft’s terms may be related to Congress passing the Fight Online Sex Trafficking Act (FOSTA), which was combined with the Stop Enabling Sex-Trafficking Act (SESTA). FOSTA/SESTA would hold platforms responsible for users’ speech, illegally shared content, and anything that might be construed as trafficking. It has been called “the death of the open internet.”
Why El Luxo Exctincto is passing such laws that can impact the whole world ? Is MS going to ban me for cusin' on Skype ? Or called niggers for what they are ?
Can you imagine if AT&T banned you from telepone services because you said nigger in conversation with someone on the phone?
Why do these tech companies think doing this is okay for them?
Austin Mitchell
>claiming it has the right to go through your private data to 'investigate.'
No you don't.
Jonathan Jenkins
This is why multiplayer isnt what it used to be. The core of online gaming is calling your opponent a nigger without fear of a ban.
Landon Campbell
back to the typewriters
Oliver Harris
>and other services >Windows as a Service Hope you cocksucking nigger faggots will continue to enjoy your shitty OS when it will start automatically replacing all these offensive terms with [REDACTED]
Carson Evans
>offensive language Do they have a list or is it just how they're feeling that day?
Colton Ramirez
>Why do these tech companies think doing this is okay for them? Becuase of your silent consent. No one seems to be bothered by ever diminishing freedom of speech. No outcry, no protests, no revolt. Silent consent everywhere.
Apathy, carelessness, silent consent are all perfect exercises of free will.
Jose Campbell
Just wait until some liberal group changes bash to bashfash and makes the bash unix shell check for naughty words and rejects the input string if any are found.
Luis Walker
this. fuck these faggots. this is why i into linux.

>Microsoft has access to muh polder >tfw Microsoft steals all of my rare Hitlers
Supercomputers like AI will see your message live in real time. Flag anything that breaks new terms. Same system that Twitter use shadowban

Microsoft is a piece of shit company, you can't even choose to not have windows update anymore, and pausing updates doesn't work 90% of the time either. I'm currently fighting to get it to stop trying to install the fall creator's update because it breaks half of my games and all of the workarounds/fixes don't do shit. I'm never buying another microsoft product as long as I live.
Logan Diaz
So what if I curse in a conversation with my fellow american co-workers ? ( which I do, a lot , they are stupid as fuck )

Multiplayer is still fagged up because at end of day any major multiplayer platform runs through XBL ps network, steam etc and they all can ban you from online; and in steams case just lock you out from multiplayer totally for that account so you basically lose money.
Isaac Butler
Dang roodypoos.

Xbox is about to lose the 12-year-old spending their parents' money demographic.
Banning OUR own language is unacceptable. FUCK YOU WILLY.

I used to work at one of their satellite offices. We genuinely didn't have a fix for Windows 10 and every hour we had someone call our office angry at us. We directed them to corporate, a store or customer service but our automated systems and ESLers irritated them.
Matthew Watson
Congress literally killed the 1st amendment on the internet. Noice.
Everyone is missing the essential : The Congress passes a law pushed by leftist orgs against all protest from Free Speech advocates. Corporations not wishing law suits, change their TOS so they could ban at the first missconduct .
Luke Hall
>mfw all you niggers are paying for Office 365 while I'm chilling with my LibreOffice for free
People are going to have to start killing the people in charge of our communications. People are constantly calling for a civil war. What misappropriation of their anger!

CZ: law 1/1993, par 3, law 2/1993 par 13, 2/1993 par 17-2 > let them try, will be funny
Oliver Russell
Install gnu/Linux and buy a gun. I have been saying this for years.
Private companies have been using naughty word filters and banning people for using bad language for ages. Where have you been?
Easton Nelson
This is why you don't support games that you have to play on steam or xbox live. When you let a service become the conduit of your speech you are giving it a place in moderating public debate. When that service has few alternative and is run for profit it will try to silence speech that is bad for (((business))). By using this service you are helping establish a new public institution that has the power to restrict free speech and isn't restricted by the constitution in how it enforces those restriction.
Ultimately you have a choice between boycotting these companies and being a race traitor. You can't pay companies to promote white genocide and not be a race traitor. This isn't hyperbole. Your grandchildren will be brown if you continue to pay subversive antisocial companies to fuck up society.
Jaxon Parker
No one will search for your law. Post it

rocking a pirated office 2003 here. shits so old and corrupt it doesn't even recognise mouse input anymore. masterrace.

Office? What, Microsoft Office? Am I going to get banned for typing nigger in a story about 1930s America on Word?

This is so retarded, NA internet is going to be a distopian like wasteland of politically correct speech while EU will enjoy an unregulated shit poster's dream of an internet.. Sad af because i love me some us shitposts!

>using skype, xbox, or microsoft office in the year of our lord 2018
>Microsoft “may also block delivery of a communication (like email, file sharing or instant message) to or from the Services in an effort to enforce these Terms or we may remove or refuse to publish Your Content for any reason.”
>when you try to explain to normies the threat and danger of the CLOUD act can cause things like this >they shut your shit down and parrot what the Wall street journal says
The normies aren't human anymore. We live in the zombie apocalypse.
Office? The fuckin spreadsheet and document maker? What the fuck lol
Luke Parker
I always see this meme rolling around but, what do this shitty ideologies have to do with jews? How do they take advantage of this?
Dominic Martinez
>Becuase of your silent consent. wow... victim shaming much? you're disgusting dude, he was scared! he didn't know what to do you can't tell me you would be so calm and start protesting if it would happen to you
Brandon Carter
Again, not new. Same shit happened back in the day with AOL: if you said enough bad words, you'd get banned from their services. You couldn't even browse the Internet because you called someone a bad word and made them cry.
Adrian Myers
I do win32 software, I see paranormal shit all the time. You get used to it . NOT that the rest are better. I've done Linux stuff and it has all these tiny conditions that if you forget you're fucked. And I hear my colleagues yelling at MacOS all the time
Since the "enemy" is thought and behavioural patterns, the only solution seems to be eradication through extermination of the host, yes. Hitler realized that. Widely misunderstood.
Angel Price
To be fair it's like this in Japan too, probably in all older companies. Pre-smartphones the nips were literally programming cell-phones in assembly language. I met a programmer who fixed some code that was used by all of Toyota with a flowchart so convoluted that they were losing tons of money purely on how long it took to run, and he got it to run 50x as fast just by unfucking the code
Sebastian Ramirez
Pretty sure germans will push this law thru.
Gabriel Miller
Lol... I love how EU computer laws keep screwing over these liberal American computer companies. Ironic, but sweet
Gabriel Butler
I swear my isp throttles my internet because of this place.
Wait...how? What if I'm writing a book? Or load a document into word? I've looked up alternatives in my time but I've never had to look up a fucking MS Office alternative.
Oliver Allen
>using Shekelcroft Winjews Tell me how does it feel to be a pleb?
Bentley Davis
good thing cunt isnt registered as offensive in australia hell yeah boys land of the free
Liam Hill
desu I'm getting paranoid about this too. I'm spending so much time on lurking Sup Forums watching right wing shit, hitler stuff on youtube and I'm getting 1h of internet outage 2-3x per week.
Isaac Nguyen
They been going through your data forever, Americans just been too stupid to fight back and it's only going to get worse.
Jeremiah Lee
EU protects freedom of thought, not expression or speech
Isaac Phillips
I miss that so much. Chat is not even available outside of party chat for most games
Easton Anderson
I'm wondering this too. So using a company's word processor means they have permission to go through your stuff? Pretty sure this would run afoul of all sorts of data security laws.
Zachary Reed
With all the intelligent people on Sup Forums from all over the world, why has no one created a rival to Microsoft? There should be at least four or five other products on the market to rival Microsoft. Why is Microsoft the only one? I thought monopolies were illegal.
Yes, I know about Libre Office, but there should be more and on the actual market.
Justin Stewart
Everyone is accelerating their ultimate doom. Music to my ears.
>abandoning whole operation system because new CEOs want to spy on customers Maybe you should sue them and stop using only certain things that spy on you like those mentioned programs, by banning that kind fo behavior.
Mason Cooper
if Xbox banned you for saying nigger id leave ps4 and join xbox
sick of playing with niggers and 12 year olds
Isaiah Ramirez
Leaf speaks the truth. I've seen entire companies running on "code" that's just gigantic Excel spreadsheets running formulas. companies don't even use source control (lol google drive) and will tell you straight faced that they do waterfall development. They like to use skype too, lel.
Angel Sanders
Sadly, EU does not protect a frying shit. You can be arrested for cross eyeing a muslim or for criticism to your government
Mason Howard
I friend of mine was using linux in an odd location in London, he was visited by the cops within the day I think it's what the security services use
Dylan Brown
>he doesn't know about the list of naughty words

Step 1. Microsoft bans "Offensive Language"
Step 2. Microsoft loses ENTIRE Madden playing fratboy customer.
Step 3. GNU/Linux, GNU/Linux everywhere!
Lincoln Sanders
welp good bye Microsoft herrooo linus
Hudson Adams

Fucking plebs

When employer told me to use skype from my home to workplace i told him no. Skype is literally spying from Microsoft direction, from your direction and employer direction.
Jeremiah Price
We really notice at the house, Xbox live struggles to keep a connection with two kids streaming with iPads... never had problems before, but recently it’s really annoying
Jordan Perez
Policing of speech keeps them safe. Goyim can't be allowed to notice things.

The private industry has always fueled communism.
The big corporations need to be taken down because they are working around the clock to take your freedoms away.
>In before muh capitalizums no can do deyz haz shekiils an sheeit
Monopolies are not illegal and Microsoft has weak competitors. If they had a monopoly they couldn't do this in America, would be considered public domain and protected by the Constitution and Bill of Rights do to an old supreme court ruling.
Brandon Carter
>Skype in 2018
Jordan Clark
Don't let the election of Trump fool you. America is cucked. Got libtards and contards fucking this country up.
Levi Stewart
Scariest thing I've ever seen. No offensive content in OFFICE? What the hell? We're not even gonna be able to save hate facts if this is taken to the leftist desired level.
Wyatt Davis
>block delivery of a communication (like email, file sharing or instant message) Top kek. I always put 'here's your money kikes' or something like that in the memo/notes field whenever I pay online or e-transfer cash. Guess I'm going back to mail and cheques, or will they start checking that for naughtiness too?
this is why repealing net neutrality was a good thing believe it or not the ISPs do a far better job allowing freedom than these "content providers" like Google, Facebook, and Microsoft so anything that hurts the content providers and helps the ISPs is good
James Richardson
i never understood why he hated poland. in that era poland was lie 70-30 germans to slavs.
Blake Lee
poles started mass killing ethnic germans in poland before hitler even invaded
they dont teach that in school
Nicholas Nelson
Actually the meme is "every fucking time!" because if you dig enough, you tend to find jewish financial influence behind nearly every attack on the ideals that founded America (free speech, right to bare arms, etc)
Specifically, they are redefining what should be considered free speech by creating an illusory category of speech called "Hate speech" in which, anything can be thrown in because literally any mean word is hate speech
Ian James
Most software is only built for PC and Mac. Most developers would lose money building a product for 1% of the available market
Eli Russell
Because it's greatly exaggerated. Just about as real as the gulf of Tonkin incident. I bet they don't teach that either.
Andrew Cooper
Are you starting to understand why Microsoft was targeted by EU and US govts over anti-trust and competitiveness problems? MS used its market influence to force its competitors out of the market. Now we have crappy open-source Linux as our only real alternative.
Joshua Cruz
is there a source on that?
Cooper Lopez
Pooland shouldnt exist ,its rightfully german land
John Miller
What about Libre Office?
Chase Richardson
Poland had millions of Jews. It was Israel before Israel.
Colton Wilson
thank god i have steam. i nearly bought a xbox a few months ago, glad i didnt. i would last about 3 days before i was banned for life, for saying shit that is offensive
