The only problem I have is when Micro$oft requires you to add your phone number for "security" and then gives it to telemarketers.

are you aware all your emails are stored by Google and can be retrieved and read at any time by the NSA and other government organizations right?

Probably shouldn't be fear-mongering in Serious. There are legitimate arguments that could be made which don't involve misinformation.

But what about Windows 10 scanning the contents of your local disk and Gmail keeping copies of all your emails? We're talking about practices that go way beyond browsing history

That's not done, though. Not sure where you're getting your information, but clickbait news stories don't count.

you don't find the blatant invasion of privacy to be unlawful?

There is no "right to privacy" codified under any sort of the American legal or judicial system.

And before you go into "4th Amendment!", no. The 4th Amendment does not imply or apply to digital records, as they are under the ownership of the various ISP's that you may use - they are not directly yours, therefore your "right to privacy" does not apply.

Until a Supreme Court rules that it is such a thing, tough shit.

You can't truly know the capabilities of software without the source code. Windows is closed source.

The source code really has nothing to do with it. 10 is just a variation of the NT kernel, and I have no doubt it's capable of stealing all of that. But there's no evidence it's being done.

"Windows 10 can scan your local disk and disable pirated software."

You're telling me my operating system can detect software on the hard disk it's running off of?

No shit, man. And it absolutely should disable pirated software, that poses a security risk to the user and is also illegal.

The Guardian link really has nothing to do with Windows as far as I can tell. Google os not entitled to read my emails, which is clearly stated there.
