Microsoft was investigated for antitrust violations by the [[Department of Justice]], and in 2001 the Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit affirmed the finding of the trial court that monopolization by Microsoft had violated the [[Sherman Act]].<ref>United States v. Microsoft Corp., 346 U.S. App. D.C. 330 (D.C. Cir. 2001).</ref>  The appellate court, however, overturned the lower court ruling to break Microsoft up and instead remanded the case to a new trial judge with instructions suggesting a less drastic remedy.  By then, President [[George W. Bush]] had replaced [[Bill Clinton]] and the Bush Administration dropped the demand of the [[Clinton Administration]] for a break-up of Microsoft.

Most people who have lived near Microsoft for years, are now reluctantly leaving their homes of many years because of the taxes, traffic, and the vast change in the caliber of people in the areas near Microsoft.

Most people who have lived near Microsoft for years, are now reluctantly leaving their homes of many years because of the taxes, traffic, and the vast change in the caliber of people in the areas near Microsoft. Microsoft has begun a multi-billion dollar renovation of some buildings on the main campus. Nonetheless, some say that this overall liberal mentality has ruined the culture and lives of honest citizens within a ten-mile radius of Microsoft.

Additionally, Microsoft has made in clear that they want to eliminate individual privacy online. For example, they announced in 2021 that their "Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity" (C2PA) was working on making every file traceable back to its original author. Under the guise of fighting "misinformation," this plan would apparently result in every image, video, audio clip, etc. bearing an embedded tag which identifies its original creator's true identity, if successfully implemented. With them in this effort are also a number of other tech companies, including [[Intel]] and [[Adobe Systems|Adobe]].<ref>Misinformationhttps://www.breitbart.com/tech/2021/02/25/bokhari-microsoft-and-friends-want-to-destroy-online-privacy/</ref>
