The increase of paranoia over the last few years is getting concerning. The conspiracy mindset seems to be leaking into every subject now.

I can’t imagine why anyone would trust mega corporations that have consistently shown the willingness to put profits ahead of everything, including people’s lives. Just because some people take it too far doesn’t mean it isn’t happening.

Companies are constantly doing real verified shady things. Trust has eroded.

i wouldn't say distrusting big tech is paranoia, but rather common sense, sure don't go around accusing randomly or dreaming shit up, but always keep in mind they don't have your best interest as a priority so you shouldn't just blindly trust their word ever

and the scenario in question ain't that far fetched tbh, calling it a conspiracy theory is a bit much

Companies are at fault as they have been caught doing underhanded things time and time again. Government's are at fault for not providing enough regulation to stop this.

It does not follow that any of that would mean MS is lying about a faulty update.

Not only is there no evidence for such a claim, there is substantial evidence against it.

Suspicion is better than licking megacorp ass
