@nixCraft cool, so the whole EU has to switch to Linux / MacOS now?

Cause i am sure as hell, that this is not compliant with the GDPR

@aZa1905 @nixCraft My guess is that MS will probably find a way to become compliant with GDPR while still abusing customers in every other market. Should be interesting to watch over the next 12-18 months.

@liquor_american @nixCraft of course they will.
But if that becomes a core feature of windows, i'm sure windows will not be allowed to be sold in the EU. (At least i HOPE so!)

@aZa1905 @nixCraft My point is they will never allow themselves to lose the EU market, but they won't dare remove the offending feature from Win11 entirely, either--they'll do a separate "for markets where we have to show some respect for users" spin of the OS, and that'll be that.

(On edit: to be clear, they won't just do that willingly. They'll exhaust all their legal options in the EU first, because who knows, maybe they can pull it off)
