Microsoft can track your keystrokes, your speech, and more. Here are the settings to turn it all off.

Thank you for sharing that

Technology was supposed to set us free. Instead it’s created this unholy union between the government and the private sector, that destroys any notion of privacy.

Six year old article. Nothing newer? I couldn't find it based on the instructions given in the article.

I'm surprised we allow these companies to collect this data without an affirmative consent first.

One of the few areas where Europe was (at least at one time) ahead of the US in terms of privacy rights.

Me either but I poked around a bit. Go to Settings, then Diagnostics & Feedback. I think what he was talking about would be under the Inking and Typing section there. Mine was already turned off FWIW. Didn't see anything like that in Speech though, but I never do that anyway.

You consent, its in that long document no one ever reads but just agrees to when downloading software.

I have the perception that Europe has better privacy rights? And better rules when it comes to food?
