In the aftermath of the NSA scandal, several large IT companies are trying to minimize the consumer backlash, so it seems. In this article about Microsoft's latest attempts to tighten security, they ramp up encryption of popular services.
As quoted from this blog: "Our goal is to provide even greater protection for data across all the great Microsoft services you use and depend on every day." Signs of Microsoft addressing customer issues, perhaps?
Even back in December, 2013 Microsoft began the damage control on the official TechNet blog - "Many of our customers have serious concerns about government surveillance of the Internet. We share their concerns."
Is this Microsoft "doing the right thing" or damage control?
Helps if I could spell "backpedals" correctly too!
