Microsoft creates a special version of Windows 10 with a backdoor for China

ios in china

Since the controversy between the FBI and Apple began so that those in Cupertino would unlock the device and thus be able to access the content, much has been said about the demand of the American government for Apple to design an operating system that could be accessed through a back door. From the beginning Apple has always refused, not because it opposes the government, but because it can be a drain for all those people who are friends of others who can steal personal information from our device.

Apple will continue to refuse to create a backdoor, forcing the FBI to have resorting to other methods to be able to access the information stored on the device, as we have already informed you in the case of the iPhone 5c used by the terrorists of the San Bernardino attacks. But it seems that while Apple refuses, there are other companies that the privacy issue is not relevant to them and Microsoft is a clear example for it.

While Apple refuses and will continue to refuse to create a GovtOS for the government to freely access iOS devices, Microsoft has reached an agreement with the Chinese government, to create a special version of Windows 10 for the market in that country. this version called Zhuangongban, includes a "greater control over the security".

Although as usual Microsoft has not recognized this fact, the publication TNW states that these changes have been introduced at the request of the Chinese authorities, in order to control in a more efficient way all its citizens. It should be remembered that, like Russia, China has several departments in charge of controlling all the information that may or may not circulate through the country through the internet. Without going any further, Facebook, Twitter and other companies cannot operate in the country due to these restrictions.

    Hi Ignacio. I have read this news on several pages and according to it is a rumor, I understand that no one has confirmed that Microsoft actually developed this version of its OS, perhaps it would not be correct to state it as a fact unless Microsoft or the Chinese authorities had confirmed it (and I understand that they have not).

    Greetings.
