With the way things are going right now with all the corruption in governments and corporations were way past the point of giving the benefit of the doubt. These organizations are clearly making changes to their OS's to slowly remove user control.

Everything should be treat as suspicious moving forward and I am glad of the skepticism.

The question is, did they notify the user that the account was blocked, or was it done silently? My money is on the latter, obviously I don’t know, just my guess. Was there a reason? Blocked is semantically harsher, than it has been disabled.

It was done silently. I am one of the affected developers and my software is the open source file system driver WinFsp:

Uncool. Now the question is, how many people, many not reading hn, are actually affected. Seems like a blanket ban of some sort.
