    Of cause they will have permission. It’s in the TOS and EULA if you don’t want to have them doing it you will have to use something else.

    This is 100% a core feature and will break windows if you disable it. You know, until Europe says we have to let people disable it then we will only allow European versions disable it.

    Unless you are an enterprise than you can flip these 2 registry keys and that group policy to disable it, but we will revert that setting every time we update the software, which will be about every month.

      Hey, nobody is stopping your country from enforcing things like the EU.

        enforcing things like the EU

        You mean like “client side scanning of all media you send via any (chat) app before encryption and sending all media that might trigger $algorithm to the police”? Yes, it happens only if you consented to it, but good luck using those apps without giving consent…

      All of this is blatantly false and easily verifiable.

      Is there a verb for this? Can we call these types of statements trumping?

        Clearly you haven’t been in the tech space long enough to see how this is a thin edge of the wedge.

        They’ve literally done this. Perhaps you haven’t dealt with the shitstain that is IE11, windows apps “Bing, Cortana, Xbox gamebar, etc” but they 100% had massive issues very similar to the above description with all of those rollouts and features. My end users are lawyers and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had them bitch about candy crush being on the start menu before they rolled the reg key to rip/remove it, and that’s from Win10 Enterprise ltsc.
