You may be aware that since Trump, when you're not a US citizen, you have no rights to privacy. Everything Microsoft collect about the rest of the world is fair game. IIANM this feature was introduced with the patriot act update.
- throwanem 10y ago"Since Trump"? The most recent rev to that law was last year. Obama didn't leave office until this one.
- bigbugbag 10y agoyup! Since trump[1]. As I said IIRC this feature has been introduced with the patriot act. At least out of US, privacy oriented online companies put forward that they are outside patriot act jurisdiction.

- throwanem 10y agoAh, I see. That is a thing Trump did, but has no relationship with the "USA PATRIOT Act", hence my confusion.
