"According to a story from the Washington Post, Microsoft is using gamer profiles to create targeted political ads. The article talks mostly about XBox Live, but other services like Skype and MSN will be included. The article also presents some interesting, to non-gamer, stats about the typical gamer that Microsoft was promoting at the CPAC. As an example, 40% of it's 25 million subscribers are actually married! who'd of thunk it?"

Microsoft uses its services for political purposes, not just money, and that's why this is disturbing. ">Back in 2007 they censored TruthOut and convinced almost everyone but Google to do it at the same time [dev.soylentnews.org]. Microsoft has always been more of a political movement than a software company. Gates made an empire of lies [techrights.org] to serve himself.

Your hyperlink for this didn't work for me. I had a quick search myself and all I found were rebuttals: 1 [carlhutzler.com], 2 [sethf.com]. Seems that this 'Truth Out' site was being a bit spammy. On this Truth Out page [truth-out.org] I can see a link to "AOL/Microsoft-Hotmail Preventing Delivery of Truthout Communications [truthout.org]", but it gives a 404.
Your techrights.org link was interesting though.
