Ask Microsoft: Are you using our personal data to train AI?

We had four lawyers, three privacy experts, and two campaigners look at Microsoft's new Service Agreement, and none of our experts could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data – including audio, video, chat, and attachments from 130 products, including Office, Skype, Teams, and Xbox – to train its AI models.

Is what microsoft does worse? Probably. Sure.

But I hate it when someone tries to a morally superior position when they really, really don't deserve it.

@bmaxv or email, especially via their "new outlook" that logs on to non Microsoft servers from Microsofts own servers to retrieve email.

@bmaxv at least you get a choice to do this with pocket, it's not assumed that you have given acceptance vi's some 23 page eula.

@Extelec I do, that is true, and that is the bit where mozilla is undoubtably in a better position.

But their cooperation with / integration of pocket shows that they are not opposed to doing these things in principle, or working with companies who do.

The complaint against evil MS loses that "justified, divine quest outrage" quality (which makes it such good PR), if the company does something that's not entirely unlike the thing they complain about. 😉

The long answer: why wouldn't they? They already got you to use Windows, then they got you to keep paying for new versions that you don't even like using.

They've got you pegged.
