Microsoft will have to disclose its mobile security practices to the FTC

Windows 10

Perhaps the big problem that Microsoft's new Windows 10 has is the issue of privacy and security, important elements for many users who see inaccessible in Windows 10, at least the part of having control over it.

This has been the great battle horse of many who ask Microsoft for more transparency in this regard and which Microsoft refuses to do. Or at least it refused since from now on Microsoft will be obliged to present certain information about its procedures, practices that have to do with the security of the operating system. The institution that claims knowledge of these practices is the Federal Trade Commission of the United States and not only requests it from Microsoft but from large companies that have large income from the mobile market, that is, only the mobile security of the devices is requested. Since Windows 10 Mobile comes from Windows 10, the corrections and elements that Microsoft has to correct or report will have to do so for both versions, thus ensuring the security of the operating system. will be at least public for an institution (it's something).

Commission petition could make users more aware of Windows 10 Mobile mobile security

Microsoft won't be the only company to communicate its mobile security practices And although some companies have already stated that they will not give any data, the truth is that if they want to sell or manufacture their devices in the United States they will have to do so sooner or later. On the other hand, Microsoft may change its mind and not just hand over its mobile security practices to the FTC but make it public, at least as much as you can without compromising user safety.

Personally I think this opportunity would be very good for Microsoft and make users get closer not only to Windows 10 but also to its mobile platform, platform being abandoned massively and that if it continues like this it will end up disappearing.
