Microsoft and firearms

BomarBomar Member Posts: 15 ✭✭
Be advised I have just been notified by Microsoft that I will have my Microsoft accounts closed if I use them, (including my mail handler) If I purchase, sell, or arrange to transport firearms under their service agreement "code of conduct" which took effect on 10/19/2012.

You might want to look into this issue with your attorneys as it breaches your and my rights to conduct legal business. This is the same as the phone company telling you what you can sell or arrange to ship over the phone.

    I'd be interested to see that memo.
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-live/code-of-conduct

    You can go to Microsoft service agreement for the latest update for the explanation of services affected which include bing search engine, msn, windows live and a host of others then, you are sent by link to the code of conduct linked above and under prohibited activities are the firearms restrictions, about 2/3 of the way down the list.

    If I have misunderstood what these two documents mean then please straighten me out.

    Wow, that is incredibly foolish of them.

    Netscape used to have a mail program (and you could get a netscape.net email address). Firefox does not have one of which I am aware.
