I'm going to miss Lina Khan. It is unfortunate that a government contractor with a dumb grudge is going to be allowed to decide her fate. As far as I can tell she's been doing great work over there.
Actually Matt Gaetz, who will likely be her boss, calls himself a "Khanservative" in support of her
Alleged pedophile Matt Gaetz will do as our owners want and they want Khan gone.
deprecative, an alleged child molester, doesn't realize allegations aren't evidence.
But what does Donald want?
It doesn't matter at all what Matt Gaetz wants. .
Let's not forget that Rosenworcel is also likely to be replaced by a sock Paipet. She has also been doing great work at the FCC.
I will follow the remainder of her career with great interest.
She was cooked either way. Kamala's financiers were also demanding she fire Lina.
ive always thought their offering was basically "three rich guys in a trenchcoat." customers include MS Office, XBox, and every corporation strong-armed into accepting cloud credits in order to continue receiving discounted licenses on desktops.
What or who is the source for this?
Also, since when did Ars syndicate the Financial Times?

I recently tried to delete my Microsoft account. The system wouldn't let me (it gave me a popup saying "known issues exist"). I spent a long time trying to figure out how to contact Microsoft until I just emailed the data controller saying I want to delete my account. We went back and forth with support for a month until it got escalated to executive support. They closed it saying they can't help me and I need to open a new ticket with 365 commercial support. I gave up.
Just find random Microsoft executives off LinkedIn, figure out their work email, and cc them on the conversation. I would search for anyone in 'privacy' and related keywords. One of them will see your email, mysteriously escalate it internally, and it'll be done. I say this as someone who has done this sort of thing multiple times now. It's always easier for the company to comply with the crazy person who's willing to directly email executives.
If they don't initially respond, just keep cc'ing them and politely sending emails 'hello, I'm just looking to follow up on this so that I don't have to escalate'. I promise you that this works
Guessing you're not in the EU?
> I gave up.
That is the idea, yes.
Your Microsoft account doubles as your advertising profile, so you can see how they wouldn't want to delete it now that they have embraced the surveillance capitalism business model.
Microsoft’s bundling of different distinct products across azure, office, and many other brands needs to be investigated and shut down. And all the dark patterns like nudging users to import all their tabs into edge or whatever.
> Tactics being examined include substantially increasing subscription fees for those that leave, charging steep exit fees, and allegedly making its Office 365 products incompatible with rival clouds, they added.
Why are there no details or examples? Is Ars this bad recently?
I feel like an example would just restate the sentence. “Company name tried to move but the migration was manual and there were fees of $X”.
What details do you want? Im not shocked to hear Microsoft acting a little poorly.
