Comment on Mozillas petition to get an answer from Microsoft, is it using your data to train its AI?

This idea of “putting sunshine on a problem” never actually solves anything. The problem company just comes back with “Yeah? So? What the fuck are you going to do about it?”
Shining light on a problem is a good step to make people realize there is a problem in the first place.
What the fuck are you going to do about it?
Start a meme campaign targeted at countries with privacy legislations, aimed at making their future governments ask for higher bribes more lobbying before signing away taxpayer money to Microsoft contracts…
I mean, ideally have Microsoft rethink its approach, like Meta is rethinking its with Instagram, but let’s start with something simple.
Yeah we should just never do anything if it doesn’t instantly fix the problem.

Well, the more negative feedback they get the more they will rethink it. Just like what happened to Googles proposed “Web Integrity” API recently. It recived a huge negative backlash and in return they dropped the idea, for now…
But if you’re asking if “blatent and transparent” polices are better than the ones that are not, then the answer to that is a big fat YES ofcourse they are. I personally have had enough of google and microsoft so im staying away from their serivces as much as I possible can.
