As a general rule, when trillion-dollar companies don't like regulation, it simply means they're admitting the rules are good for their customers.

...warning of potentially burdensome restrictions possibly hampering innovation and distorting competition.

Oh yeah, when I think of innovation now I think Google and Microsoft. Seriously what has been innovated in the last 10 years by either of them? Most products by big tech over the last 10 years are knockoffs of competitor products or things they captured by buying out a startup. They're big lumbering slow corporate behemoths who are just maintaining their power status.

True innovation is what will come out of this. If they can't hoard users and be anti-competitive... then they actually might have to innovate.

Oh, come on, in that time period Google’s made several dozen copies of the same service! And some of them even lasted longer than a year before being killed!

And Microsoft has been steadily rewriting the book on naming schemes in a valiant effort to confuse you no matter which of their product lines/ services you need, and all while graciously providing Candy Crush and telemetry free of charge!

I love going to Entra (azure), the authentication manager (admin, legacy and Entra), the defender dashboard for DLP, wait no compliance, and then uh, what license do I need for this? It's a NIGHTMARE navigating their depreciated shit. Absolutely unreal

It's not even the compliance portal any more it's purview.

[–] Ashe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Only if you have an E5 license! If you have an E3 it's still compliance and you can trial purview features

[–] egonallanon@lemm.ee 5 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Of course the name changes if you pay for a different license lmao.
