I personally think this is a good move. There isn't a lot of choices for the company. As they indicated they can't request official search of themselves. And short of hiring a 3rd party company to approve/disapprove there isn't much more they can do. I think they are doing by trying to be transparent and not hide the fact what they did. It could have all been hidden quite easily. I see no other service not doing the same thing. Gmail with Google employees. Apple with imail and etc... What I think is stupid is that the former employee who was clearly violation was using Microsoft services to bad mouth them with. I feel like he should have been using alternative emails and services if he was going to continue his inappropriate actions.
