"He who controls the default, controls how the game is played"

A fair point, in minecraft and real life.

By default, Windows computers will show you a news article on startup.

It's subtle and unobtrusive, most people won't really notice them, much less think about them or dislike them.

Of course, if for some strange reason you did, you can always take the 1 or 2 minutes to google the very specific part of settings you need to go to to turn it off. Problem solved!

Do you see the problem? MicrosoftTM can show everyone using their computers any article they so choose. Of course, most people won't read it. Some might just read the headline. But, far more dangerously, most people will only register it subconsciously, and almost nobody will bother to turn it off.

If, God forbid, MicrosoftTM had a narrative they wanted to push, this gives them an incredible power to do so without people even realising.

Incidentally, the last 3 articles I saw before I took the time to figure out how to get those articles off my start up were all telling me about the wonderful things AI is doing for humanity. Funny right?
