- (General Dispatch) – Microsoft has teamed up with other technology companies in order to implement a tracking system on the network; this kind of idea may affect the privacy of users leaving anonymity aside.
- According to a statement Microsoft has seen the need to partner to avoid being left behind by the stiff competition that currently exists in the market, the purpose of this union is to create a tracking system that is to say that all Internet content can be tracked.
- The intention is that when the user tries to upload content to the network, be it images, videos, documents and audios, they can be tracked.
- The fact of being able to upload content to the network seeks to protect the user about its authorship, and avoid future plagiarism.
- Microsoft is leading the way with its package, when creating a file either .jpg or .doc. There is also Adobe that contains Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat and Premiere Pro and finally Truepic the company that offers information about the site where the photos are taken.
- INTEL is also part of this initiative and is a great ally since it dominates the market in the production and sale of CPU central processing units for desktop and laptop computers. The fact of accessing the CPU is the ultimate tracking even if the computer is not connected to the internet; the CPU will allow to see what the computer is doing.
- According to Microsoft the main objective is to prevent misinformation, misinformation and fraud online by means of technical standards and thus find the original source.
- This new bet of Microsoft has as a fundamental aspect a violation of online privacy, some people accept this measure as positive to have a safer network and others claim that it is an invasive measure.
