Windows 10 can carry on slurping even when you're sure you yelled STOP!
Found on The Register on Thursday, 13 December 2018
First noted in an increasingly shouty thread over on Reddit, the issue is related to Activity History, which is needed to make the much-vaunted and little-used Timeline feature work in Windows 10.
Deliberate slurpage, or a case of poor QA and one team not talking to the other aside, it isn't a great look for Microsoft and users are muttering about potential legal action. Privacy lawyers will certainly be taking a close look – after all, the gang at Redmond are already under scrutiny for harvesting data and telemetry from lucky users of Windows 10.
They just have to make a few big expensive example lawsuits to teach companies that personal data is personal and not something you just harvest left and right.
