Or maybe, It's supposed to be local. Broad, anonymized statistics are aggregated by Microsoft. Including your name. It's only available to Microsoft's marketing department. It's available to third-party affiliates. A handful of resellers are affiliated. Insurance companies, employers and law enforcement have as much of a right to buy the information as anyone else.

There's another step: "Okay, it'll send your information to the cops, but only if it sees you doing something REALLY, REALLY bad, and we pinky-promise we will not let cops in authoritarian countries decide what that means". (Remember the iCloud photo scanning controversy?)

  And then, the last step: If you've got nothing to hide you've got nothing to worry over. Why do you worry? What do you have to hide? Don't leave your house, a Black Maria is on its way to pick you up.

    Why using curtains at home? Why closing doors when go to toilet? You must hiding something.

      I use toilet paper when I go to the toilet, and not the curtains, but to each their own.

Did you mean "opt-in" rather than optional? Optional is the same as "you can disable it". Also, you scratched it out. Are you sure they just enable it without asking? The link above even has a screenshot.
