Isn't that the whole point of Windows 11? Mass surveillance of your userbase? 🤔
They are 'customers' not 'civilians'. Totally different thing, pinky swear.
No.
Anonymous telemetry that tells you what percent of users clicked a button is not surveillance.
Yes, those people are not serious at all, don't they know that Microsoft is anonymizing all the data. For any data point, they can't tell who or even where it was. Even the screenshots and audio recordings only have anonymous tracking IDs, they don't store date, or your exact name or any other metadata. They know how important privacy is to their users and that it would be crazy to use the automatic update system for anything other than installing security patches.
Nothing like that exists, mate.
The Recall thing is local-only, nothing is being tracked or sent to MS. How do we know that? Because there's about a billion security engineers poring over every single bit of data sent out by Windows since the introduction of Recall.
Hmm?
Yes you are right and of course market forces would discipline the participants either way if it weren't true, there's really nothing to be concerned about !
Can't tell if this entire thread is just people busting my balls or just shills for corpos
