Yes, the news is, as written, when the creator feature is on (and it is by default), all websites are reported to the Bing API endpoint. The other options you referred to aren't mentioned because their configured state is not relevant.
Specfically, the following request is sent:
GET /api/v7/followweb/isfollowable?appId=F1E45C4A7B95B48AC3F411C6214F6B861D0C276B&mediaUrl=https://www.domain.com/&edgechannel=stable HTTP/1.1
The endpoint then responds with a bit of JSON:
{ ..., "status": "UnFollowable" }
- jsnell 3y agoThe configuration state of the option that allows Edge to send browsing history to Microsoft is pretty damn relevant when talking about a feature that involves Edge sending browsing history to Microsoft. If the option is being ignored, it's the kind of thing that'll result in fines in multiple countries. If the option is being respected, it's not even a story. I assume you're the person quoted in the story and know the details, so thanks for clarifying. Sounds like it's the former then.
