I'm seeking feedback for my blog post, "United States v. Peter Stokes, Microsoft Windows surveillance via GDID"
https://yawnbox.eu/blog/microsoft-gdid-surveillance/
reading the actual text and reading between the lines should cause serious alarm to any Windows 10 or Windows 11 user -- including all American and non-American companies and governments

i've finished my draft analysis in my new blog post, "United States v. Peter Stokes, Microsoft Windows surveillance via GDID" https://yawnbox.eu/blog/microsoft-gdid-surveillance/ # TL;DR 1. Microsoft (NSA) conducts dragnet surveillance on all Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems worldwide by default. 2. Microsoft's (NSA's) dragnet surveillance tracks Edge browser identifiers and Global Device Identifiers. 3. Microsoft's (NSA's) dragnet surveillance somehow captures full URL data even when a device uses a VPN, which is likely exfiltrated from everyone's "personal computer" via malicious software called Edge and SmartScreen.
