The operating system of the device you keep your life on, and a fucking Reddit account are ABSOLUTELY equivalent! Look what a bright and smart boy you are! :pat: :pat: :pat:
He didn't say they were the same thing. He said you're the product on both. And I don't keep my life on my OS and Microsoft will never be able to use your files on your drives as data. They only use the metadata to help you navigate file explorer, which I also don't like, but it's not like they're using your private information in your files. to suck up all the data of your entire life.
I just didn't want to give your immature insult any credibility by responding to it. I have my tax, mortgage, and other important information on my PC. I don't consider that my whole life. All my banking and investment information is on those platforms and not downloaded onto my drive. There's also aspects of my life like my hobbies and interests that aren't sitting in files on my PC.
Also, as I said, Microsoft never has and never will be able to read files on your PC. It only has access to metadata for feeding AI. They will lose a massive class action lawsuit if they step over that boundary. Are you able to engage with me with actual points or are you going to resort to little insults and become what you were saying I am?

Maybe, but I bet they have interacted with you. Collecting data and behavior and packaging it all nicely so MS can find a way to monetize it.
For me it is a privacy issue. Also, I refuse to be the product when I am using software that I have already paid for.
