Microsoft is getting millions from the FBI to hand over its user data

Microsoft-y-FBI-leakIf the fact that Microsoft makes millions from Android devices sold surprises you, how about the millions it makes annually by charging the FBI?

Recently, Microsoft invoices were released , proving the above

The FBI pays small amounts for each case, from $50 to $100, but the cases are so numerous that Microsoft is pocketing about a million every quarterto give access to its user data.

Of course, the protocols that must be followed when delivering documents to government agencies are very strict, the legal procedures that take place are time-consuming and, of course, costly.

Microsoft could have revealed the FBI's actions, but it could also simply, through legal proceedings, ask the company to hand over documents without any charge whatsoever.

Therefore, we understand that it is more of a compromise between them, rather than a financial aid from the FBI to Microsoft.
