A mandatory verification requirement Microsoft introduced in October took them out.
Is it just me or is the headline misleading and wrong?
Why would WireGuard, VeraCrypt or Windscribe push windows updates in the first place?
If you read the actual text it says Microsoft locked out the accounts these 3 projects used to publish new versions of their software.
It also seems like somewhat reasonable anti-malware practices, for the most part. They want a government ID if you’re going to push kernel level drivers. They have a process for doing so.
Could have been smoother, such as allowing them to recover their existing account.
They’re probably using “Windows updates” to mean “updates to their software on Windows” but it’s obviously confusing.
Microslop sabotaging privacy!? never did i expect them to do something so dastardly.
Microslop, who bundle their OS with a competing encryption product that probably has government backdoors, “accidentally” shutting out open source encryption software. Nothing to see here. Perfectly legitimate business behavior.
Big Tech = Weapons contractor… which also means digital slave tracker
Not at all anticompetitive. Because, uhh, reasons?
