News comes that a major online Word Processing package is now being used to block access to users' documents if they contain "sensitive material".
Hey sabang, have a wild fucking guess which country we're talking about in this "brave new world" of yours.
No?
I'll give you a clue.
It starts with "chinky" and ends with "stan".
MORAL OF THE STORY: DON'T USE SHITTY CHINKY SPYING SOFTWARE.
If you use Kingsoft, migrate all your documents to a more secure platform and delete your Kingsoft account. Fuck the chinky bastards.
Chinese software developer Kingsoft Corp is facing a crisis of trust after being accused of locking a novelist out of her own work written in the word processing software WPS over sensitive content, a practice the company denies.
After trending on social media, the issue has caught the attention of state media and other users have come forward with their own experiences about being locked out of their files.
At the heart of the issue is the WPS cloud platform, which like Microsoft 365 allows users to work with files stored on company servers or locally through desktop programs. The writer, who goes by the pseudonym Mitu, claimed she was unable to access her unpublished 1.3 million-character document either from the cloud or the desktop WPS client, which told her “the file may contain sensitive content and access has been disabled”. It could still be opened with other tools, including Microsoft Word and Tencent Docs.
