Windows 10 Can Collect Your Data For Gov't Agencies - What to Do
Windows 10 OS - the ultimate Big Brother?
Of the 14+ million people who have recently installed Microsoft's new Windows 10, there haven't been many complaints until now.
The system is said to run more efficiently, but apparently someone only recently read the tome of a service agreement.
Let's just say that Windows 10 goes above and beyond good service and
makes sure that you are being a good citizen. Who is the one really
getting the upgrade, here?
Yes, it is implicitly stated that whoever installs the program is
agreeing to be watched and that Windows 10 can and will aid and abet law
enforcement and other government agencies - should it deem that you are
doing something illegal.
BGR found this part of the agreement particularly interesting:
Finally, 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: 1.comply with applicable law or
respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other
government agencies; 2.protect our customers, for example to prevent
spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent
the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;
[...]
...however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using
our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of
Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves,
but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.
