Guessing everything including mouse movements based on the fact that wiggling the mouse all around on Windows 7 doesn't cause a whole lot to happen. Wiggle mouse around on WIndows 10 ram and cpu usage go up.

yeah but microsoft isn't law enforcement

I don't see any reason they would want to fuck over their customers

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah


Honestly Paget...

even apple rats you out

seriously tell me why microsoft would even give a single shit about my data

even if I did have illegal data, what incentive do they have to throw people in jail?

if news articles started coming out saying "Windows Defender finds CP on man's computer, Microsoft reports him to authorities"

then people would not want to use windows defender anymore

I just don't believe they would care to do that

All of it

all major browsers do this if you don't turn it off

They report your porn browsing history to your school principal, clergyman and mom.

They'll never come out and say that someone was caught because of telemetry or w/e. They'll use parallel construction to build evidence and say they caught you some other way.

they give a shit, they sell it all

No, browsers download a malicious sites list and compare locally on your computer.

Nah. Collection of info like this is part of the reason IE is so secure. MS has a pretty competent anti phishing mechanism in place.

If you have to worry about any company trying to sell your data it's Google

To be honest they are probably forced by the MIB.

Hidden warrants/writs, or paid a shitload of money.

all your eroge installed and their savefiles

>part of the reason IE is so secure.

OTOH my nostrils have never been so clean.
Oh, dear. You probably believe it, too.

oh god no

Ummmm this actually happened. And they used smart screen for it too. It was first being tested on their servers for one drive "sky drive". Some guy got arrested because Microsoft ratted him out.

There have been studies to show it

it's painful how unimaginative yet naive you are

Everything

i need a link to an article or something

>people this retarded exist

tell me why I am wrong instead of just then

they have literally no incentive to throw people in jail, that's the government's job

Even if you're not doing anything illegal now, future law may change it. Anyone having info about your private life is not doing it in your interest. Just fucking read how totalitarian govs work.

> .. and their savefiles
You mean they can see the good stuff without having to wade through endless dialog. The bastards!

There's literally nothing wrong with this.
They're not looking at your images. They're seeing if any of the hashes match confirmed child pornography.

that guy is an idiot. sharing illegal images through your gmail is a whole different ballgame than having them sitting on a hard drive in your computer

and disabling windows defender, onedrive bullshit and every other privacy invasive feature is enough to prevent microsoft from looking at your hard drive

>They're seeing if any of the hashes match confirmed child pornography.

Now explain how would they get a hash of an image without looking at it.

Everything

FBI database.

They have to completely read the file to compute the hash, only then it's checked against the database.

Not talking about the CP, he's talking about hashing YOUR images. They have to read every single byte of your images to hash it.

no human gives a fuck
they literally hash the image and match it against cp hashes
no set of eyes is looking at your photos

t. guy who has totally worked for the fbi and all he's stating is facts, right?

>no human gives a fuck
oh so then it's ok?

no, nobody or no thing should be looking through my files except for me

>surveillance doesn't matter as long as it's not manual!

Why are so many retards on this board afraid of windows?

Not only that but the misinformation that they throw out like actual truth?

has anyone ever been arrested as a result of using Windows though?

even if they had the sickest shit, has windows defender ever sent in a illegal file to be checked, and has microsoft ever attempted to arrest the owner of that file?

>misinformation
what misinformation? even using the OS itself you can directly feel how intrusive it is, you don't need to get that from anyone else

and it sounds like you don't even trust the true information given to you if you write it off so quickly

You're fine. The privacy concerns of Windows 10 are greatly overstated. If you disable all privacy invasive "features" during install and run SpyBot anti-beacon to block telemetry services in windows, you won't have any issues. At least with the current version, it may change in the future. The apocalyptic privacy concerns mostly began and ended with the pre release candidates which did various nasty things like taking screenshots of your desktop while you used it sending those screenshots back to MS with no way to disable it. Obviously, that's a big issues, but it was a pre release build, so as long as you aren't using one of those you should be good. The vast majority of people who get busted for cheesy pizza do something incredibly stupid, like torrenting said material, using tor with JavaScript enabled, emailing extra cheesy pizza, clicking on bait links on Sup Forums that are actually honeypots or using cloud services to store said pizza. All of which are basically asking to get v&. That said though, use Linux.

>The privacy concerns of Windows 10 are greatly overstated
Uh-huh

Seriously, the only article anyone can find about someone being arrested due to using these services is retarded as fuck

This moron was emailing child porn to his friend using gmail

I have no sympathy for him

Are you gonna tell me that Microsoft really doesn't have a way around Spybot?

The file hash is compared against known viral, and CP file hashes.

>microshaft makes a good product(win7)
>everyone is used to it
>they realize that nobody would upgrade even if they made a better win7
>they force win10 to get some quick cash with user data

Anyone who knows even a little bit about how businesses work can see this.

They will contact police if you try to upload that shit on one of their cloud services, other then that nothing. Windows defender only checks for known viral file hashes, and analyzes files that give off heuristics similar to malware.

...

The fact privacy invasive features are on by default is malicious though user. Plus even if you are computer savvy Windows 10 is a cloud centric operating system that restricts user control over the updates installed on your machine, and it it has a EULA that gives them the legal right to change the EULA as they please at anytime; which you automatically consent to. Because of this, the design of the operating system itself poses an inherent future risk, especially the manner in which you receive updates. This operating system has also demonstrated that it will gut GP settings and restrict control from non enterprise installs, as an operating system it is inherently not trustworthy.

>>they force win10 to get some quick cash with user data
They promised the press that Windows 10 would be on 1 billion PCs by now. It isn't, despite Microsoft ramming it down users' throats.
MS are getting increasingly desperate. If they don't hit 1 billion soon they'll look bad to the press. That might spell the end for Nadella.
Expect more trickyness soon. Maybe an extended deadline on the free download.

>might spell the end for Nadella

Hopefully, considering he is responsible for the whole spyware 10 fuck up.

This is what happens when you put the head of your mobile division in charge of the operating system division.
