Antedote Deepcore Text- 'Seeds of Fire' China and Israel Part one (Microsoft, Israel and China)

Microsoft reluctantly admitted when pressed that "we may collect voice information" and "typed characters” from users without their knowledge or expressed consent.
We now know that the Washington-based corporation is doing precisely that.
"I said that 'I seriously doubt that the worst spyware features will remain in the finished product,'" wrote PC World contributing editor Lincoln Spector. "I was wrong."
The Windows 10 "speech, inking, typing, and privacy FAQ" section admits that when a user interacts with a Windows device by "speaking, writing (handwriting), or typing, Microsoft collects speech, inking, and typing information – including information about your Calendar and People (also known as contacts) …"
Microsoft's Privacy Statement reiterates this, though it contains all sorts of other information in the form of 17,000 words that requires some extra time and effort to fully peruse.
Microsoft Is Guilty Of Committing Treason With Communist China
The good news is that the Windows 10 keylogging function can be disabled, or so it would appear.
Clicking Settings on the Start menu's left pane, followed by clicking the Privacy button, a Windows 10 user will find a selection box to turn it off – all the way at the bottom, of course.
“Once in Privacy, go to the General section and Turn off Send Microsoft info about how I write to help us improve typing and writing in the future," Spector explains.
"While you're there, examine the other options and consider if there's anything else here that you may want to change."
To stop Windows 10 from collecting your speech, you must also go to the Speech, inking and typing section and click Stop getting to know me.
This same area contains options for restricting Microsoft from collecting data from your camera, microphone, contacts and calendar.
"I wish I had that capability in Android," Spector notes, suggesting that smartphones are prone to similar spying without the option to disable it.
It is important to note that Microsoft is a close ally of communist China, having worked with Huawei, the communist Chinese corporation that President Donald Trump banned from the United States through an executive order.
As we reported, Huawei works closely with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to spy on people through technology and artificial intelligence (AI).
The company is also under investigation, or was, for its participation in the Iran nuclear arms agreement.

Bill Gates: Israeli tech 'changing the world'
In video call to Microsoft Israel's annual big bash, co-founder says he's 'very impressed' with Israel's R&D
By DAVID SHAMAH | 25 February 2016
A special guest virtually joined over 2,000 people at the Microsoft Israel R&D Center's annual Think Next event in Tel Aviv Thursday – the man who started it all, Bill Gates.
In a rare public comment on the value of MS Israel's work in helping make the company what it is, Gates said that Israeli developments tech areas like analytics and security were "improving the world."
This year marked the eighth Think Next event, where MS shows off its best and brightest new technologies, many developed in Israel. Gates doesn't call in every year, but with this year being the 25th anniversary of the Microsoft Israel research and development center, he told the Tel Aviv audience in a video call from the US that he was "very happy to wish the R&D center a happy birthday."
The center, he said, "started in 1991, when some of the Israeli engineers at Microsoft wanted to return home but continue working at Microsoft. We decided to open the center – it was our first one outside the US – and I think the technology they have produced over the years more than justifies our decision."
Speaking live at the event was current Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. Nadella met Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier Thursday to discuss cyber-security and other matters. In their meeting, Nadella noted Microsoft's commitment to Israel, "its investments in the local market and its commitment to the continued growth of the high-tech and innovation industry in Israel which finds expression in assistance programs for start-ups, introducing advanced technologies to all sectors of the economy, promoting science and technology, and education in computers and mathematics," the Prime Minister’s Office said.
According to Yoram Yaacovi, general manager of Microsoft Israel's R&D Center, "the Think Next Conference reflects the ability of creative technologies to reinvent entire industries, including: health, agriculture, communications and transportation. The new experiences offered to users are a tremendous springboard for businesses and is changing the economy and the lives of millions. We are proud to provide a stage for startups that show exceptional creativity in these and other fields. Since the R&D center was established 25 years ago we have managed to generate unique creative value for the company – as shown by innovative projects that will be presented today at the event."
Think Next itself was one of those projects exported by Microsoft Israel. First organized in Israel, the tech showcase is now duplicated by the company in India, China and the US. This event is held in the framework of Microsoft's efforts to promote high-tech in Israel, and especially in the start-up sector, where Microsoft holds various promotion and cooperation activities with some 1,000 startups.
One thing that Microsoft is very proud of, said Zack Weisfeld, who heads Microsoft Ventures, the company’s start-up accelerator, is "that in four years we have built Ventures into the world's biggest and most successful corporate accelerator. Since we started the program in Israel in 2012, Microsoft has opened six additional Ventures Accelerators around the world."
"Worldwide we have had 454 graduates, who have raised $1.78 billion," he said at a gala event Thursday in Tel Aviv, celebrating the seventh graduating class of the local Ventures Accelerator program. "We've had 29 exits and 3 IPOs, and on average companies that graduated from the program received $4.9 million in funding in the first year after they graduate from the accelerator. That's enough to make us the number one corporate accelerator in the world."
While Microsoft is known for many things, it is best known for Windows – and for years, rumors have swirled for years that major parts of the operating system were developed in Israel, something the company has confirmed although it has never specified just which components of Windows are "Israeli." Gates, who does know, wasn't telling either, but he was "very happy" to wish the Microsoft Israel R&D center a happy 25th anniversary.

Hidden inside Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system software is a keylogger spyware module that records the keystrokes and voices of users and sends this private data straight to the mother ship.

Hidden inside Microsoft's Windows 10 operating system software is a keylogger spyware module that records the keystrokes and voices of users and sends this private data straight to the mother ship.
Another creepy "feature" of a software platform that was originally designed by billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, the Windows 10 keylogger add-on was supposedly "intended for testing, not day-to-day use."
And yet the latter is what it became, though most users have no idea that it exists.
Microsoft reluctantly admitted when pressed that "we may collect voice information" and "typed characters” from users without their knowledge or expressed consent.
We now know that the Washington-based corporation is doing precisely that.
"I said that 'I seriously doubt that the worst spyware features will remain in the finished product,'" wrote PC World contributing editor Lincoln Spector. "I was wrong."

Zohar Zisapel the "grand daddy of the Israeli high tech sector" in Israel apparently. Proton Mail uses Radware Routers. There is also a Reddit post on where ProtonMail's ASN belongs to Binat-Rad Group Ltd in Israel. Is this still the case five years later? Microsoft Israel also handles all security for Microsoft's Azure Cloud and associated office products. And now Microsoft Israel has the $10 billion Pentagon cloud computing contract and so again we ask, everyone is okay with this arrangement?

All the big tech companies including Microsoft rely on Israel for "mission-critical work."
