If you can say for certain that the links being published are coming from the malware scanning, and not being taken from users' browser sessions that are using Microsoft Edge you should elaborate on this.

I would be pretty mortified if browsers were using user browser sessions to scan content and pass it to bingbot…? What about if you’re browsing something local? Or your bank account?

I would be too.

The point I was making is that someone should research this instead of relying on wild speculation as the basis for the conversation.

Nobody is saying it isn't.

It's about trying to get to the core of the issue, not just the random speculation going on in the article and in this comment thread.
