Microsoft aren't fighting for your rights here. They are fighting for market share. Not turning your data over to the FBI is now a product feature.

I can't help but disagree -- they are caught between a rock and a hard place. Following the demands of one Federal government (Brazil) will result in them violating the laws of another (US).

They are fighting for a unified legal regime that spans across all international boundaries.

And god damn would I be willing to pay top dollar for such a feature. Do you hear me $every_tech_company? I'll be more than willing to put my market demand where my mouth is, give me client side encryption and/or self-hosted versions of your products and I'll happily write the check.

Which in turn is protecting our privacy. The same can also be said about all other corporations: Google, Mozilla etc.

> What does that even mean?

It means Microsoft losing market share to Apple when people tell their friends that they can't download the latest episode of the Kardashians if they upgrade to Windows 10.

We thought about this hard. Either to go for a made up name like "Google" or to go ahead with the name we wanted but not a .com. We decided that we liked FinanceJobs too much rather than something along the lines of getfinancejobs.com or financejobsapp.com.

At the moment Google and the others treat .co as a ccTLD meaning that it's not country specific and will rank around the same as a .com/.net/.org

Depends on the advertiser.
