Microsoft products are truly an endless surveillance of nightmare. The data collected is unacceptable and will be used against you. Best scenario to target ads and train ai; worst scenario to handle you over to the government (any that Microsoft has an legal entity at).

this is the kind of thing that makes we finally sit down and actually look at what's leaving my machine instead of assuming it's fine. been doing some recon work on my own stuff lately and it's wild how much you find just by actually checking instead of taking a vendor's privacy claims at face value. genuinely curious what "full browsing and gaming history" means in practice here — like is this URL-level, or just aggregate app usage categorized as "browsing"? big difference between those two for how bad this actually is.
