Lobbying. The greedy fucks will lobby until they get their way

What are you going to do with billionaires CEOs that are basically chinese/russian puppets? What about security elements that are “american software” but have leaked to the highest chinese bidder?

How the hell are you going to enforce that no “chinese and russian software and hardware” make it into the cars? Its hilariously difficult to enforce it because its vague, and its vague because its not about national security but trade.

We do need laws to prevent the inevitable abuse that comes with chinese cars but this particular ban reeks of bullshit.

Not sure why you feel the need to defend your actions by drawing analogies with real piracy - it’s their attitude towards you as a content consumer that you should note in this situation, and that’s just appaling. Your actions may well be piracy but frankly that’s just a word they use to guilt you out of choosing convenience and safety. Be a pirate and be proud, goddammit!

Yes, god forbid they see opinions from outside their respective bubbles.

Yeah, privacy. That’s definitely what it’s for

Well you lot ain’t going up there

I don’t think this will bury MS because they can easily market this to enterprise clients ( if they haven’t already ). Recall is a particularly useful tool for any employer that wants to keep track of everything employees do, especially in an age of WFH. They probably figured they can take the PR hit from users concerned about privacy and move on unaffected.
