It is relevant because you have virtually no problems with the non-stop trolling of this thread by Ani, yet you have the audacity to expect me to engage you when your objectivity is gravely in question.

Really? What is it exactly that they know?

Mike_L wrote:The Russians know...

In August 2015, Russian politician Nikolai Levichev called for Windows 10 to be banned from use within the Russian government, as it sends user data to servers in the United States. The country had passed a federal law requiring all online services to store the data of Russian users on servers within the country by September 2016, or be blocked.

'Non-stop trolling'? No, no. You have it wrong. I made one joke post because it amused me and I grew tired of waiting for straight answers. I meant all my other posts. Your beating around the bush and claiming insider knowledge and access to documents and data while not imparting any of it is exactly reminiscent of this guy -

If Win10 is the cat’s meow... why is it free?

Loooooooooooooooooooooool! That is, quite literally, the standard conspiracy theorist's gambit. Start by getting the listener to ask themselves a simple question, act as if there is something suspicious about the question, then fill in the blanks in the listener's knowledge with their own pet theory. I mean literally every conspiracy theory, from JFK to 9/11, starts the same.

Oh nice, so you are now admitting that you’re trolling and adding fuck-all to this thread but tinfoil with the usual side-dish.

No. Not admitting to trolling. Trolling suggests I wrote those posts deliberately to inflame. I didn't. I called it as I saw it. Standard, evasive, non-sequitur, CT tactics everywhere.

Microsoft's service agreement is a monstrous 12,000 words in length, about the size of a novella. And who reads those, right? Well, here's one excerpt from Microsoft's terms of use that you might want to read:

We will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to.
