Buy tinfoil futures.
I'm dead serious. There is apparently a growing and very vocal population of people who believe that Windows 10 is basically a 1984 telescreen come to life. They are convinced that with Windows 10 Microsoft has built a spying apparatus not seen since the height of the Cold War, scraping up every detail of your life and feeding it back to Redmond for who knows what nefarious purposes.
They're going to need lots of tinfoil.
They're also either wildly misinformed or deliberately agitating. Unless, of course, they're just crazy, which is entirely possible based on some of what I've read.
But most importantly, they are wrong, terribly wrong. And they're being whipped into a frenzy, or at least passively aided by the tech press. That group unfortunately includes ZDNet, which earlier this week unquestioningly repeated this incendiary allegation, posted on Reddit by someone who claims to be affiliated with an obscure torrent tracker, iTS:
>Microsoft decided to revoke any kind of data protection and submit whatever they can gather to not only themselves but also others. One of those is one of the largest anti-piracy company [sic] called MarkMonitor. Amongst other things Windows 10 sends the contents of your local disks directly to one of their servers.
That's not true. It's wildly at odds with the facts, even. I keep tabs on a handful of well-established torrent sites, orders of magnitude larger than the ones complaining here, and none of them seem to have a problem with Windows 10.
There's literally no basis for that statement in fact. And yet you read it here. And on dozens of other sites, unfortunately, where a single lie gets repeated often enough to seep into the collective unconscious.

Depends on who they sell it to, really. Probably advertisers, so you'll start seeing ads based on the shit you do. Which isn't that big of a deal, I guess. Then there's the law enforcement angle:
>porn
You could get pinched for copyright, unless you only watch amateur porn.
>shitposting
Enjoy prison for "cyberbullying".
>pirated games
Again, copyright.
Finally, there's the data retention issue. You must assume that all data collected about you will be permanently retained somewhere, and eventually be available to everyone. Say you decide to run for mayor in 20 years. Do you really want your opponent making attacks based on how you're a scummy pirate, or the kind of porn you used to watch? ytcracker put it best, in Cognitive Dissonance:

Telemetry has been a part of Windows spence 2000. Microsoft has just become more transparent about it.
There are reasons not to use Windows 10, sure. But the telemetry meme is a red herring.

I'm not sure if you guys noticed but there's this homosexual dude from reddit that had phases around here - at first he pretended to be in college and have problems with windows 10 and tried to convince everyone that windows 10 is the best option for him and that even tho we say it spies him it really doesn't... then hate threads started to show up... then lots of shilling for Microsoft - now we have this.

Can't lose what's the truth. And the truth is Windows 10 is horrible at user privacy. It also is enforced with aggressive methods to get it on your system and it has ad space embedded in the OS. Every Windows 10 enabled device gets an Advertisement ID. Why does it get this ID? To determine what the interests are of a person so it can be used for specific ads. Meaning Windows 10 does in fact collect data on you.
What is up with all this MS damage control across the net recently?

Busts nothing. It gives explanation to why spying clauses are in EULA. But for most cases, spying clauses are there for reasons that are not beneficial to users. If they want to gain user trust, they should make spying opt-in and completely separate from OS - not explain what circumstances led to including spying into OS.

Giving choices the way Microsoft does that has no meaning. It's a matter of trust, and as long as you are forced to legally agree to be spied upon, "choices" you are given are irrelevant.
An actual choice would be to let users install a version of Windows 10 that does not have any spying causes in EULA - that would place legal responsibility on Microsoft in case it does decide to spy on users.
>>54146819

Is yours? The quote is
>Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails in Outlook.com, or files in private folders on OneDrive)
And it is under the "Reasons We Share Personal Data", not "Windows".
Under the OneDrive terms, it says:
>When you use OneDrive, we collect data about your usage of the service, as well as the content you store in order to provide, improve and protect the services.
Under the "Personal Data We Collect" it says:
>We collect content from your files and communications when necessary to provide you with the services that you use. For example, if you receive an email using Outlook.com, we need to collect the content of that email in order to deliver it to your inbox, display it to you, enable you to reply to it, and store it for you until you choose to delete it.
The only part of the privacy policy that says anything about collecting files from Windows is
>If Windows Defender is turned on, it will monitor the security status of your device and will automatically send reports to Microsoft that contain data about suspected malware and other unwanted software, and it may also send files that could contain malware. If a report is likely to contain personal data, the report is not sent automatically and you'll be prompted before it is sent. You can configure Windows Defender not to send reports and suspected malware to Microsoft.

They could shut down your computer, monitor activists, and manipulate public opinion. They could watch your ideas form on the fly and instantly judge the effectiveness of any propaganda.
Knowledge = Power
Are you really willing to give a corporation that kind of control over you? You willing to sell out the human race because you can't see how it immediately effects you?

Then it's as good as if it's not even there at all. There's no responsibility on Microsoft.

Question: are you using a router?
>>54147388
yeah it's there
>>54147426
yes
>>54147450
Ok you done it all wrong, but no problem you're a noob so we can understand it.
On router you have to install packet sniffer inside it - you won't get shit by running it trough the computer.

Microsoft is literally a part of PRISM
Microsoft literally admitted to gathering data on you
Individual third parties have proven that Microsoft gathers data on you in the form of screenshots of your desktop
Please stop getting paid to blog on 4chan. Your life is meaningless.

>Windows generates a unique advertising ID for each user on a device. Your advertising ID can be used by app developers and advertising networks to provide more relevant advertising. You can turn off access to this identifier at any time in the device Settings
>You can turn off Input Personalisation at any time. This will stop the data collection for this feature and will delete associated data
>In Settings, you can also view which apps have access to the location service or your device’s location history, turn on or turn off access to the location service for particular apps, or turn off the location service
This does not invalidate the broad statements about how they can collect whatever they want.
>We collect content of your files and communications when necessary to provide you with the services you use.
This alone allows them to monitor any of your files. The only requirement for them is to decide that it's necessary for any of vital services Windows doesn't work without.
>>54147489
you forgot
>You have choices about the data we collect. When you are asked to provide personal data, you may decline. But if you choose not to provide data that is necessary to provide a service, you may not be able to use some features or services.

The EULA only applies to the online services you fuckin idiot.

Now that is something I'd like to have a citation off, go on you greasy basement motherfucker dig out what you can, because I have been monitoring my windows 10 connection for several months now and THIS is some high quality bullshit.

Joke's on you, I run my own services. I have 8 servers colocated around the globe for all sorts of cool shit. Owncloud, email, xmpp, DNS, diaspora, wiki, backups... it's all internal.

>Microsoft is literally a part of PRISM
So is apple and google, and those three are the only companies that actually make usable operating systems.
Wait, don't tell me you belong to the community of complete idiots and use loonix? No one on this board actually uses loonix, there's only linus torvalds and richard stallman constantly samefagging and botposting in every thread. No one in the world really uses linux on his desktop.

Just for me, it's for documentation. I keep track of what services are running where and leave myself notes on how to do stuff / how I did stuff.

>jailed for accessing the wrong kind of porn
>see above, site: 4chan
>jailed for piracy
All they now need to do is make it legal to use the information they gather.
>>54147622
Yes, a recursive DNS server that validates DNSSEC. And a different server is authoritative DNS for my domain.
