Like I said you can de-anonymize data. I wouldn't know since I'm not a security researcher and haven't tried to analyze Windows traffic with external hardware. It's like asking if nobody would have find out about Spectre in a decade since it's so obvious.

Since everybody else does it now MS, from a competitive standpoint, also has to be a creep with your data. But they own the OS and I don't want that bullshit there.

You can go with the "it was a bug" narrative about all the privacy settings getting reset, saying that the tool showing what they collect is enough, that not being able to pay to stop the data collection is ok (if they "really" have to collect data to be competitive), well for me it's shady business and I don't want my OS doing that. Just tired of this subject to be honest, here's more info if you want to dig deeper https://google.com/#q=Windows+Restricted+Traffic+Limited+Fun...

All that other creeps are stating that in their privacy agreement openly though.
