      no thanks.

      I would rather put all my private data at risk of hackers than put all my private data at risk of corporate interests.

      at least when I pay the hackers they give me my shit back. what’s Microsoft’s excuse?

        Firstly, that is absolutely not always the case. There’s no honour among thieves, as the proverb goes.

        Secondly, hackers do a lot more than simply encrypt your data and hold it for ransom.
