This backlash prompted Microsoft to postpone its rollout.[2][4] Microsoft changed the feature to opt-in and provided instructions for how to remove it.
Not something “forced on everyone”?

Yes, that's toggleable on settings and off on default. I also remapped the copilot button back to being right click.
I mean, they're pretty useless features and I wish they had spent more time working on better stuff, but... you know, I turned it off.

I'm so exhausted of social media nonsense latching onto meme crap to push preconceived narratives and flipping over to ignoring reality altogether the moment any facts at all don't fit their dumb little package of memes.
You know what, I hope it's not actually off and anybody with the trivial means to check what their Windows PC is sending to the mothership notices so we can get the EU to GDPR the crap out of them and build some nice highway somewhere with the money.
In the meantime, go do conspiracy theories over on Twitter. There's plenty of real stuff to be mad about at Microsoft without having to make shit up.

Hey buddy, it’s your PC, not mine. I’d just rather know a multi-billion dollar corporation isn’t spying on my every move than reckon they aren’t.
Microsoft has proven on multiple occasions that they really don’t give a shit about the word “no”, so if it’s worth it, by all means, bend over, cover your ears and keep taking it without any lube.
