Combine that with the list from the EFF: geolocation, voice input, text input, programs run and during what times, visited websites, etc.
The EFF article fails to mention that the privacy policy for Windows 10 explicitly lists law enforcement as a partner that will have access to your data. (Both Apple and Microsoft differ from Google/Facebook in this key way) So they definitely don’t want to erode trust in that way because it impacts their business model of selling you more software and hardware. Remember, unlike Google, or Facebook, Microsoft’s business model is not to collect data to advertise at you. Reading Microsoft’s response actually makes a lot of sense:
OO SHUTUP10 DANGEROUS UPGRADE
I support the EFF with money, every month, – but gathering telemetry data on application crashes and OS hangs seems like exactly the sort of thing anyone deploying a widely-used operating system should be doing.Ĭortana is opt-in, and the upgrade process is unrelated to using Windows 10 (given the improvements in security to Windows 10, I find it amusing so many people think going backwards will keep them safer), so there’s only one central critique of this piece, namely, that people who purchase Windows 10, and want security updates, can’t disable the telemetry logging.
