    Just watching from Europe. I’m covered by strong and enforced privacy regulations.

    Please do elaborate how they don’t work.

      The US really needs to work on getting privacy rights in the constitution. There were some implied rights, but the current court’s busy rolling out back.

      A well run, non-partisan campaign could fix this.

      Sure, I’ll give it a shot:

      Does Windows 11 meet European regulations?

      Any answer other than “No” is a rebuttal against OP’s argument.

        Yes, I run it at home. Clever enough, Microsoft has this handy little trick of asking you about your region during installation. And so it knows who it can screw over, and who not.

          I see.

          So, a business who deliberately screws over its customers wherever, whenever, and however it wants, suddenly becomes perfectly trustworthy when you check a box.

          Contrast, a system that just doesn’t screw over its customers.
