Whoa its crazy how microsoft tried to sneak those features into the operating system by including obvious and easy to find checkboxes. I'm really mad about that but not about the 30 other companies scraping up all my data without giving me an option to opt out.
They claim to be better than them.

Microsoft boss posted:

Speaking about possible privacy concerns, Mr Nadella took aim at companies like Google who use data to sell advertising.
"One of the foundational pieces of making anything more personal is trust," he said.
"We're not trying to sell you advertising, we're trying to in fact sell you software or devices so you as a user can trust it, that it's working on your behalf.

yeah who cares, the nsa, obama, microsoft, google all know goons are fat and jerk it to (70000 year old-but-looks-underage) anime and poo poo

but this is actually super shady and lovely for an os to include torrenting of updates to save bandwidth. can't wait until comcast puts in their data caps and some people spend 20% of it sending off torrented updates so microsoft can save a few bucks. its also obviously intentionally hidden in the most obtuse way possible too

Looks like a lot of potential HIPAA violations. Many health industry apps use app title bar names to share data between sister applications (Such as current patients name, location, etc). If Microsoft is recording the current running app with its current title bar name with the patients name in it, they're in some deep poo poo.

I'm okay with Microsoft and Google spying on me. In theory, they're going to use that information to help me by suggesting better products, services and pornography.

On the other hand, the government will use that information to throw me in a gulag or worse.

No I'm not a libertarian, why do you ask?

fair enough, I'm not really that familiar with it but I always thought it was the company was liable to ensure it didn't expose/share info, and not that the recipient of said info.

The government already has your information and is going to do whatever they want with it no matter what OS you're running or whatever this is basically just how things are now that everythings connected

like, you can bet your rear end that even the super liberal countries are data mining the poo poo out of people on their networks because you're kind of dumb if you don't
