That's a good point. Microsoft has been much less heavy handed than I expected. But your point about how the data is used, I am very curious too. I wonder if they'd be willing to make the privacy policy readable?..
Microsoft would like for you to adopt an image of GitHub as an upright corporate endeavor - but remember they blocks/censor developers from world states that the US doesn't like.
Microsoft/GitHub as businesses incorporated in the United States are bound by the law of the United States. I am not sure of what you are insinuating here.
Yes, I don't understand this weird movement where businesses are expected to go against the government.
You disagree with your own government that's perfectly fine, and for the record I agree with you on the issues themselves, but if you want embargoes against Iran to be lifted or for the NSA to stop hoarding Americans' data you have to do the boring work of convincing the people to vote for people who share those ideas.
Real change will not come from corporations, it simply cannot because their mission if profitability, they support movements if there is no financial risk to do so.
