Microsoft wants medical marijuana dispensaries to use its servers. I suspect it intends to collect data about all the patients.

Whatever commitments Microsoft makes about how it will use the data are not worth paying attention to; the data, once collected, will be misused. They will be misused by Microsoft (using loopholes in the misleading assurances), by rogue employees, by crackers that steal the data, and by the state (which will demand access to it all).

I hope people will campaign for dispensaries not to use this or any similar system.
