I've posted it before, but when I saw that Microsoft Defender sends your files to be inspected, and has no audit history of what goes from your computer to their servers, I installed Linux.
- jxramos 3y agoDo you have a blogpost or something of the like to read up on the analysis backing that conclusion. I’m very curious here.

We'll prompt you if the file we need is likely to contain personal information. Regarding that last sentence, it is not documented what they consider "likely to contain personal information".
