It doesn't matter how much encryption they use when MS willingly hands the keys over to the feds, meanwhile the government can keep turning a blind eye to the monopolization that prevents people from having other choices. No MS hate here, every major corp follows this. Google, Apple, Verizon, Ma Bell, whoever they need on board.
There's a way to hold the government accountable, US citizens are just not capable of using it. A good chunk of our population has been brainwashed into thinking that patriotism means always agreeing with Uncle Sam and to go against the status quo is terrorism. Many whine about how the government treats them, but they're afraid to take a day off work and protest it. Many complain about their work conditions, but when it comes time to strike they don't follow through. Fighting the power actually means fighting, not signing a petition and going back to your life.
