Thinkpurpose warns us of ISO 18404.

Embrace, extend and extinguish “Embrace, extend, and extinguish”, also known as “Embrace, extend, and exterminate”, is a phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found that was used internally by Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences to disadvantage its competitors.

It’s not science fiction, it’s history. It’s all in keeping with the one world controlled by an elite as described by Julian Huxley – UNESCO: Its Purpose and Philosophy (1946). No cost is too high to ensure the subjection of mankind to the rule by its self-appointed best.
Management ISOs have just made this control of humans really easy because they enforce mutual oversight and dominate the workplace as police, legally and practically, cannot.
