@nielsk In absolutely unrelated news: Microsoft informs customers that Russian hackers spied on emails.

@nielsk I wonder if this is how Microsoft avoids scrutiny by EU regulators.... they exfiltrate as much personal data as possible so police get data that #chatcontrol would have taken.

@nielsk I noped out of there as soon as I saw the notification that they would be syncing my data to their ~cloud~

I didn't even realize it included passwords too. That's even worse than I thought.

@nielsk jesus! they should be sued hard for this

@nielsk That's not exactly new. Outlook started uploading mailboxes to their cloud service for POP3 and IMAP4 accounts 8 or 9 years ago. About the time when I stopped using it. Thank you for reminding people about it!

@nielsk my understanding from when this first blew up was that MS stores your mail on their servers after picking it up from your mail server. What a nightmare.
