EDPS Documents About Microsoft's Privacy Violations and Much More to Come Regarding the EPO's Privacy Scandals

PHP code



Summary: More details or an in-depth look into Microsoft's privacy violations, which the abusive monopolist has been hoping to distract from by funnelling enforcement resources into other companies

FURTHER TO Part X of the ongoing series, which touches a sensitive subject to be covered well into spring, we've decided to produce HTML versions of the respective PDFs from EDPS. First there's this press release [PDF], entitled "EDPS investigates contractual agreements concerning software used by EU institutions" and available as HTML here or as text here. There's also the report [PDF], shown as an EDPS HTML presentation/slides/pages here or as text here. Later today we plan to publish Parts XI-XII, which themselves have some associated documents. "As for part 9-15," an associate saw the parts explained, "Microsoft has successfully steered the EU's limited anti-trust resources away from itself and onto Google/Alphabet via its proxies. Now that the EU has begun against Google/Alphabet, it has no time or money to investigate Microsoft ongoing crime."



"Later today we plan to publish Parts XI-XII, which themselves have some associated documents."We'll have more than those 15 parts and there are future series on the way as well. "In parts 1-8," the associate noted, "the 'audit report' alluded to would be of great value, but probably does not actually exist."

It's even worse! Stay tuned...

Very privateThe EPO is meanwhile clogging up the media with pure fluff. As noted in our latest Daily Links, Juve is producing EPO puff pieces, joined by some "Establishment" press in Germany and Chinese media. Some of the comments on this latest post from AstraZeneca Kat are also noteworthy. One person (comment) asks: “Should the President of the BoA self-recuse: Who selects the actual members of the EBoA handling the referral? The business distribution scheme seems to be “flexible enough” to select the actual members according to the desired outcome of the referral…” (more of the same here).

This is about ViCo oral proceedings, including privacy aspects (violations). Given past experiences, we ought not expect real answers. Just affirmation of the will of the Office President...

Later today we'll come back to covering the privacy aspects.
