1. MS mechanically suppresses bug reports that contain profanity

*without moderation*. That is, if you say something like “the

at any developers, the bug report will still be blocked in an
|

absolute, irreversable manner without the possibility of human

opt not to reattempt the report submission; thus ultimately

hindering software quality.

they also financed a disinformation campaign.
