    The reason they’re going after apps with encryption like VPNs and VeraCrypt is because the US government does not want you having secrets they can’t know.

    Microsoft is running out of moat to commit this type of developer abuse. Linux numbers just this year have shown that Windows can bleed, and we’re starting to enter a world where the software that people need isn’t on Windows when the converse used to be a given.
