Everyone has things they want to keep private. If you disagree I suggest that you film yourself walking down the street naked whilst saying your banking login details. Then post this on YouTube. Don't want to do this? Then you have things you want to be private too.

Making something public and making an infected file available only to Microsoft, if and only if they have a good faith reason to use it to improve their products and services, are WILDLY different.

You make it sound like you, the user, have a choice in the matter.

You're not "making something available" and they're not asking you for permission. They taking it if they want it and you can't do anything about it.

I think that's what people object to most, the loss of freedom to say no, this is mine, it's private and I control who has access to it.

Then don't use Windows 10 if the terms and conditions are a problem for you...

If you don't use Windows, or are forced to, then just admit that you want/need something to complain about.

How is that action even remotely comparable to MS security telemetry?

How many people keep backups of photos on their computers? How many of those people have taken nude selfies? How many do banking on their computers?

Who keeps their own (or someone else's, for that matter) nude selfies? What fucking planet am I on? If I need to produce one (I have never needed to) then I get naked and take one. I don't keep a stash of naked selfies for retirement.

A lot of celebrities do, apparently.
