What in the world are you talking about? They have 3 business units they report earnings for. Which one is the “data mining business”? If you need help sourcin

  I am well aware a public company's earnings report is public https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2019-Q3/press-release-webcast https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/Investor/earnings/FY-2019-Q3... (btw -- Tell me where in Facebook's earnings reports we should have looked to learn what they were doing with CA?) Microsoft Dynamics is their ad tech solution for companies that wish to mine data about their customers. You want to tell me you are that naive to think they aren't dogfooding this internally to at least some extent? Windows 10 basically turns your PC into a spy machine for Microsoft. Now they have LinkedIn, which has well documented gross-levels of data collection on it's users, and GitHub which has a gold mine of data voluntarily given to it daily, and to some extent VSCode, although AFAIK, turning off the telemetry in VSCode really does turn it off (should still use Pi-hole to filter, just in case). You really think they aren't feeding that data into their DP and packing up this data and selling it off to the highest bidder, including governments, just like Facebook got caught doing? If so, I got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
