为啥微软突然对用户隐私变得如此感兴趣?连操作系统的钱都不挣了?难道真的从CIA或相关部门拿到了经费?
这个不是空穴来风的瞎猜,有微软官方的文件:
很多人升级或者安装的时候通常都是一路 Accpet、OK、NEXT……闭着眼睛点下去的。有谁仔细看了这些密密麻麻的条文?
We share your personal data with your consent or as necessary to complete any transaction or provide any service you have requested or authorized. For example, we share your content with third parties when you tell us to do so, such as when you send an email to a friend, share photos and documents on OneDrive, or link accounts with another service. When you provide payment data to make a purchase, we will share payment data with banks and other entities that process payment transactions or provide other financial services, and for fraud prevention and credit risk reduction.
In addition, we share personal data among Microsoft-controlled affiliates and subsidiaries. We also share personal data with vendors or agents working on our behalf for the purposes described in this statement. For example, companies we’ve hired to provide customer service support or assist in protecting and securing our systems and services may need access to personal data in order to provide those functions. In such cases, these companies must abide by our data privacy and security requirements and are not allowed to use personal data they receive from us for any other purpose. We may also disclose personal data as part of a corporate transaction such as a merger or sale of assets.
Finally, we will access, disclose and preserve personal data, including your content (such as the content of your emails, other private communications or files in private folders), when we have a good faith belief that doing so is necessary to(基于以下目的,只要微软认为必要,就会访问、披露和保存用户的个人信息,包括您的电子邮件、其它私人通讯信息,以及私密文件夹中的文件信息):
comply with applicable law or respond to valid legal process, including from law enforcement or other government agencies; (服从美国现行法律或对有效法律程序的要求,配合法律执行或政府部门的需要,——这难道不是赤裸裸的美国政府支持下的合作项目吗?以下都是借口或废话,如果为了保护客户安全,你能想象自己用正版windows而不装杀毒软件吗?)
protect our customers, for example to prevent spam or attempts to defraud users of the services, or to help prevent the loss of life or serious injury of anyone;
operate and maintain the security of our services, including to prevent or stop an attack on our computer systems or networks; or
protect the rights or property of Microsoft, including enforcing the terms governing the use of the services - however, if we receive information indicating that someone is using our services to traffic in stolen intellectual or physical property of Microsoft, we will not inspect a customer’s private content ourselves, but we may refer the matter to law enforcement.
Please note that some of our services include links to services of third parties whose privacy practices differ from Microsoft’s. If you provide personal data to any of those services, your data is governed by their privacy statements.
估计以前一直在做,现在各国都盯着,而且可能用法律的方式对这种窃取隐私的行为加重惩罚,所以迫不得已干脆用这种方式挑明了,很多习惯于不读说明书的用户可能升级了,但还没意识到。
微软肯定自己不会大肆宣传这个明显的不同。
不过知道了之后,用户还会选择省级吗?
即使不知道这个,反正已经用正版,我的态度一直是,何必升级折腾呢?
对大部分个人用户来说,隐私其实是不值得偷窥的。
所以,升级了也没什么。
如果属于政府机关或者涉密单位,那还是算了。
