The world should wake up from tech dependence. Let the EU massively invest in FOSS.
Edit: as raised by comments, my title is not incorrect but does omit that it’s actually the US that imposed sanctions, to which MS just complies.

Yes, but they do many other types of shenanigans that are against the interest of their users. Like snooping, and lock in attempts, stifling competition and charging high prices for services that cost next to nothing to deliver. Those things are completely apart from the fact that you have zero control with the software, or insight into back doors or other security issues.
WTF? Talk about a straw man argument! There’s a reason some of the most demanding and sensitive tasks are completely dominated by Linux. Stock exchanges is is one example of that.
That’s not what a strawman argument is.
It’s exactly what it is, you build a strawman and then argue against it.
You think Mossad is a strawman?
No, the argument you pulled out of no where that Mossad will deploly backdoors in open source is the strawman, the implication being open source bad, m’kay. Could they ? Of course but thats an entire separate argument.
