Now that I think about it, yeah, I think Microsoft is probably gonna land in some big trouble with GDPR because of this. There's not really a way out of it because of how little control they give the user. I think it's just going to take time, because there's so many high-profile GDPR cases going on right now.

Plus, it's not like the big companies can afford to get hit by GDPR in a way that small companies can't. GDPR fines are based off of the company's revenue, which works well for preventing Microsofts from making more money from doing it anyway and paying the fine.
