Andrew_C thanks for sharing your thought on this issue.
Sure, killing all connections to MS online services could be the obvious answer.
The new rules in said EULA mention "hate speech" on social media platforms and the creation of "pornographic content" on windows os and distributing of "pornographic Content"using MS services, which would include the Edge Browser for example.
The question is, what qualifies as hate speech or pornography and since when is Microsoft a branch of the justice system?
My concern is that this will have an impact on artists expression and people who are critical on social issues. The knowledge that one could risk to be flagged and even banned from the internet, because of a text or picture one produced, that was misinterpreted by a AI System, will hush some people into silence.
Some commenters on YT and similar platforms are speaking about the end of free speech and the freedom of expession.
I personally think that is a bit over the top, but that there is a company with such an monopoly and market share in the most important business on the planet now being able making decisions on that scale without judge and jury involved, is rather remarkable.
