Outlook got updated on my iPhone last night and now they want me to agree to having my data shared with 807 partners.

Important note: I don’t use outlook as my primary email provider. I use Proton with a custom domain but I keep outlook for some old emails.

    I love how they just say “we value your privacy” and then list out half of their means of data collection. Microsoft ain’t even trying anymore.

      This kind of doublespeak has become the standard for corporate bullshittery.

      At this point, ANY communication from service providers that starts out like this is just another way for them to screw you for profit.

      They learned it from politics. Anything ‘for the children’…

      That’s how they sold us the Patriot Act, ‘for OUR safety’…

      FUUUUCK it makes me so ANGRY I taste blood…

      Cops say they’re there to protect and serve.

      And while we’re on that subject, all C-suite execs are bastards too.
