#12Interoperability may be hard to archive knowing that Facebook lowered drastically reach for posts may by official API versus UI. It was a "bug"... known and lasting for several years. ..

#14ok...so the government approves acquisitions, and then later regrets those decisions. Great way to send shockwaves through the M&A space with governing incompetence: rather than pass reasonable legislation and/or empower an existing department, just have a political theater of a committee process which selectively picks those who haven't lobbied enough _not_ to get in front of that committee.
Contrary to popular belief, the government is not a group of ten old men sitting in a conference room in DC. Different departments have different priorities.

How is Microsoft relevant to this discussion?
Just to give one trivial example of how this impacts people who don’t want to have anything to do with Facebook or its satellite entities, in my country many government agencies communicate through Instagram. As soon as I click on a graphic, or scroll their official feed, I’m forced to login to a Facebook company.
How does that happen with Microsoft? Even when someone sends me a Word or Excel document I’m freely able to open it with a third-party application, without ever needing to give Microsoft my real and personal details, including needing to verify my phone number or email.

Gates and Co. have been on a PR push for the last twenty years. It appears to have worked.
Gates is doing PR for himself. I've not seen him say anything relevant about MS in a really long time.
Gates is the richest person in the world. I assure you, he has a team of PR people dedicated to improving his image and the image of the source of his wealth (Microsoft.)
The fact that this is downvoted and somehow controversial is proof of their campaign’s effectiveness...it’s how the media works, people.
