Satya Nadella is King Midas. I emailed him and their legal team about it many times and he could have personally gone into the codebase and deleted this service term by now. I reported them to the State of Washington Attorney General (you can, too), and to the Federal Trade Commission Antitrust Team (you can, too), and to the Department of Justice Antitrust Enforcement Division (you can, too). Unclear how to report this to the EU Parliament AI Act folks, but maybe they posted new info since I last checked.
It’s a single line of text, certainly unfair and unreasonable and almost surely illegal in pretty much every relevant jurisdiction, so there’s certainly no an argument to be made that the fix is too technically challenging, even in light of Microsoft’s historical ineptitude.
We could check to see if Washington State has laws against contractual restraint of trade like California does.
