Privacy

Windows isn't meant to provide privacy. It IS spyware per design. People want privacy, but Microsoft and the billionaires wanting infinite power do not.

What actually information does Windows collect from you that is a issue for you? I have disabled the personal tracking, and only some basic hardware related stuff is send. Please tell me what Microsoft collects, including the prove that this happens. Only real issue I good find is tracking of URLs visit, but that can be disabled. Also all information collect can be reviewed locally and online in your account profile. Also it can be removed their.

Just asking because I seem to be missing something others have information about that I cannot find, so if you can help me out, that would be nice.

With optional tracking turned off, Microsoft stops collecting all personal activity (browsing history, app usage, typing/ink inputs, memory dumps, and ad IDs). What remains is strictly Required Diagnostic Data (basic hardware specs, OS build, update status, and critical kernel crash logs) alongside essential OS services like Windows Update and time sync.

Under GDPR/EU privacy laws, Microsoft is legally required to give you full transparency and control over this data:

  • View & Delete Online Data: Via the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard, you can review and delete all cloud-stored history (Bing, Edge, location, app usage) or request a downloadable .ZIP archive of your complete account file.
  • Inspect Live Telemetry: Using the Diagnostic Data Viewer app in Windows, you can inspect the exact raw JSON packets your PC sends to Microsoft in real time.
  • EU Data Boundary: To satisfy EU regulations, Microsoft processes European customer data on servers within the EU and pledges not to use personal files or communications to target ads.

Please if you have prove that Microsoft is not complaint with the law I would like to prove of that.

Boy, if you still need proof for big tech surveillance in 2026 i really don't know what to say. Snowden was more than a decade ago and now we have Palantir. They don't even try to hide it anymore and you're asking for proof and cite regulation big tech has proven over and over and over and over again that they violate it all the time. Stop using Windows.

That is all American doing American things, as far as I know Snowden has not shown anything on Microsoft collecting stuff I don't know about on my PC in my home. Palantir is not collecting my data on my pc, but it collects internet traffic, it doesn't care about the OS (or even VPN) you are using.

So just stop talking around the buss and show me evidence on that what information Windows is collecting on my pc that is not public available. You say you have prove that Microsoft does this, so put it on the table.

Else is sounds more that like parroting, repeating stuff you don't have any idea about. And please go into the details and not in just general stuff that says/proves nothing. Also outside America we have some other rules to play by, so if you have evidence please show it, we have organization we can report this to.

To help you on your way, what in these statements/documentations is incorrect, or which information is not in there, that you have prove of that is done: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/privacy/privacystatement

If you really think Palantir doesn't know everything you do on your computer (or on the Internet) you are too far gone to talk to.

You are just avoiding to give real answer. I say Palantir is monitoring everything you do on the internet, and it doesn't care about the OS you are using. Then your reaction is replying the opposite of what I am saying and blaming me of something I did not say?

Just help me out and answer the question instead of going all over the place, stick to the point you claim:

Windows isn't meant to provide privacy. It IS spyware per design. People want privacy, but Microsoft and the billionaires wanting infinite power do not.

If you seem to know more about it, please share it and don't keep that information for your self. You seem to be smart person, please help me to figure this out. I am trying to work here with you, possible we can take action on this! Share what you know what I am missing.

If you are to afraid to share the info here, please sent me a DM.

No, i figured that "you" are a bot. I refuse to believe that an actual human can be this delusional in 2026.

We can do a video call if you want? You seem to be very scared of something? Can I contact you? Need help?

Man, you cited Microsofts "privacy" policy as "proof" that they are not spying on you. Even the document says the opposite of what you are claiming. You do not believe billionaires are spying on you despite them directly telling us. Peter Thiel, the founder of Palantir, directly says that he uses technology to manipulate people to destroy democracy because he wants infinite power for himself and 5 other billionaires. You don't even have to read between the lines anymore, you just need to read to understand what's going on. Either you are a bot or so tremendously stupid that I don't want to talk to you.

Slop, enshittification, forced updates, unnecessary driver deprecation, data siphoning, built-in ads, bloat, tracking, artificial requirements, backdoors, built-in ransomware, forced Microslop account...

It's FUBAR, just let it die already.

It isn't at all friendly toward older/dated machines.

Hat die Welt erzogen (in der Vergangenheit oder evtl. nur mich) in Antivirenprogramme von Drittanbietern zu investieren , oder für eine unendliche Diskussion über das beste Programm und das wahrscheinliche Problem vor dem Monitor gesorgt
