It is clearly documented and the code is open source.

When X does something bad under guise of Y, it doesn't mean that Y is bad, it means that X is bad. If I introduce myself as a plumber and then rob you, you shouldn't blame plumbers.

So either you accept that this telemetry is just telemetry and then you shouldn't have a problem with it, or you are claiming that MS is doing something malicious under the guise of gathering telemetry, and in that case you need to provide some evidence to support it.

The evidence is the entire history of Microsoft's shitty behaviour, including the very recent Microsoft Purview Classifiers.

You're the frog, they're the scorpian.

I'm out of the loop. What's wrong with Microsoft Purview Classifiers? I tried to quickly google them, but didn't find any obvious controversies.
