For the handful of people who care deeply about data collection, yeah. For the rest of the 900+ million, it's really not a concern.

Edit: I know it sucks to hear, but your concerns about privacy are hardly shared among the general populous.

Every nontechnical person I told about this seemed quite shocked to learn about it and wanted to know how to avoid having their privacy invaded.

I really don't think most people expect their operating system to be spying on them.

It's one thing if you're on gmail.com or facebook.com and those sites collect info about you. People expect that. Most people probably don't expect Microsoft to install a keylogger on their computer. (Not that Google and Facebook are in the right, but I don't think they are equivalent.)

Because you told them nonsense.

Labeling anything inconvenient to the narrative as a "conspiracy theory" is so 1990s.

Also, your link does not appear to have been updated on Jul. 29 when the author says the final release should have been available. The Ars Technica article we are discussing is from today, Aug. 13, while the ZDNet article is from almost eight months ago (Jan. 27).

The article we are discussing says nothing about a keylogger.

The concerns of the general populace bear only superficial correlation with what actually matters for the thriving of an enlightened society.
