At Timmy B, re: Win10 vs GDPR.

Normally I don't feed the trolls, but I'll make an exception in your case.

I've read both the Win10 EULA/TOS/PrivacyStatement about what they do & (supposedly) do not collect.

I've read the GDPR summary to learn what it does & does not cover as far as what data can & can not be collected, under what circumstances it can (not) be collected, the disclosures that must be given for each transfer of PII data, and that consent must be granted for each such disclosure.

So, please, tell me how Win10's data collection on a bulk scale is NOT in violation of the GDPR & similar rules?

Everything I've heard thus far shows unambiguously that in a fight between Win10 & the GDPR, safe money is on the GDPR.

Even Reno, Nevada back room odds takers won't take bets on MS to win that fight.

Because even the blind guy can see the problems in their legal arguments to try & cover their asses.
