Microsoft is absolutely out of control with this shit. I was recently flipping through BI articles and came across this [0]. “Using data from millions of its subscribers … The findings come from people who use Microsoft Word and/or Outlook”. WTF? Sure enough, I opted out of telemetry but that apparently doesn’t include the content of business documents and email. 7 clicks to find that option. I guarantee you 99% of Office 365 users have no idea this is happening.

Microsoft customers aren’t getting scroogled, they are getting straight fucked. Not only are they slurping everything imaginable up, but actual people are going through the data and doing stories on business insider.

My problem is I actually like their products. I’m cheering for the day the EU (the US won’t do anything so sadly I have to cheer for a foreign government) wakes up and slaps them around. Hopefully it’s hard enough to get them to change their ways.
