Ugh. Whatever, man. Continue frolicking in the land of tinfoil. I love how retards fail to read ANYTHING that might put their paranoia to rest because it's funner to bash a corporation. I mean fuck, I'm not even a Windows user and I'm defending it with actual evidence that none of you seem to come up with an actual rebuttal to. Show me evidence that any of Microsoft's telemetry data collected is used maliciously. And also if you didn't know, every website you visit does the same shit, regardless of what blocking software you use. Site servers log user agent, IP (which can be used for geolocation), accessed resources, cookie data, so one so forth. Where's the rally against them? You wanna know how to truly stop it all? Don't connect to the fucking Internet. But you won't do that. It's much funner to spit up bullshit you've been fed by sources that aren't credible by any means. Please though, show me pcaps and other analytical data proving that Microsoft's data collection could be in any way considered spying. Oh no, an online service is tracking your location. It's the NBA in cahoots with big M$. Give me a fucking break.
