That the the author on about Microsoft and Skype ? After I read that phrase I stopped reading the article all together. Skype is not even in the same competitive landscape. Besides being a rubbish application. Microsoft as usual bought the company for billions and absolutely had been sitting on their hand and have done very little to improve it.
So .. I am guessing that for you, arresting an individual under the terror laws and threatening him with a long jail sentence if he did not give them access to his computer files is completely lawful?
Also the forcing of the destruction of private property under the threat of a gagging order of one of the main newspapers in the land is completely lawful to you?
Let me guess... you see nothing wrong with the NSA tapping into underwater fibre-optical cables and collecting bulk data from everyone without any sort of due process . All perfectly legal correct?
Give me a break!
Mark... so declining readership is synonymous with declining newspaper quality?
That I did not knew... the Sun must be the best source of journalistic insight in Britain then !?
No newspaper is without fault... that is true and I do not believe I know enough to be defending all the actions that the Guardian newspaper has done in the past. What I can tell you is that they have shown backbone and journalistic integrity by defending their sources and publishing the Snowden data even against the downright illegal bullying and intimidation done my the home office and the GCHQ spooks.
If Snowden had given his data to BBC he would probably be in a dark hole somewhere. And all his revelations would probably ended up covered up with all BBC journalists involved with a gagging order to never disclose what they knew!
Right... So governments are becoming more corrupt and instead of focusing on that you decide to apportion blame to the person that came forward to let us all know about it.
The Register should go and grown some balls before even referencing snowden. Take a look at the Guardian as something to aspire to. And for this article... You should ask forgiveness for using snowden's name as clickbait.
