One of the things I look for in privacy-preserving companies and services: strongly pro-privacy executives leaving and being replaced by people without a reputation for caring about privacy.

1/The global IT outage caused by a failed Crowdstrike software update can apparently be fixed by booting Windows into Safe Mode and deleting a file. This means millions of Windows machines need to be booted and fixed by hand.
