[AccessD] Sneaky Microsoft renamed its data slurper before sticking it back in Windows 10 • The Register

[Bill Benson]

Well spotted John. We all need to be looking out for one another. Seems
like we need to go through the control panel to configure it to the privacy
we prefer.

I read this: "Examples of data we collect include your name, email address,
preferences and interests; browsing, search and file history; phone call
and SMS data; device configuration and sensor data; and application usage."

PHONE CALL and SMS data? Really specific there, eh? Like, just the
correspondents' numbers? Call duration and message lengths? Actual text
(and transcripts)??

Scary business, MS is in bed with the devil I think.
