      It’s pretty hard to prove what anyone is doing with closed source code.

          I’d still agree with his statement. Subset of people who could even make the determination in available source code is small compared to total users, now reduce that set to people competent in reverse engineering. “pretty hard” is not a bad description imo

      Multiple. I understand that many of you won’t believe or just don’t know about Microsoft’s spying, but that’s the reality. It can happen that I can have wrong with certain things (I’m only human, remember that), but Microsoft spying on you is the fact of why I now using Linux as my main operating system since 2015/2016.

      • Microsoft’s own privacy policy page (hit “Learn more” under “Personal data we collect” and scroll down to the bullet list for “Interactions”)

      There is a lot more proof out there, but I can’t think straight to be able to find them. So if you want to dig some more, by all means, do it.
