So many articles suck these days.
And within a public forum platform (here), OPs flippantly posting news links are using subject titties to overdramatize the matter a bit beyond context much like modern documentaries.
Comment on The new Outlook may give Microsoft access to third-party emails and logins - gHacks Tech News
cybersandwich@lemmy.world 11 months agoIt was interesting because the article didn’t get too much into the details of it. But anything using Oauth2 like most major emails (eg Gmail) aren’t impacted by this. It sounds like only the ones with user name and password are sent. Without understanding more detail it’s kind of hard to be up-in-arms.
Kinda like youre saying, at some point any email app needs your credentials to get your emails. The app, necessarily, can read your emails.
The author of the article didn’t do a good job explaining the issue imo. How does it “normally” work versus what Microsoft is doing?

People like you are funny because you forget that its not “Reddit” its the people who use Reddit. Guess what group a lot of people who use Lemmy are from? This is a different platform, but it has no unique identity outside of the lower amount of content and users.

That’s nearsighted.

Author is probably being vague because there’s no real issue, but people love being recreationally angry over this kind of thing so it gets clicks.
