Windows 10: The European Union is worried about privacy

Since it was released, Windows 10 has always been accused of “spying” on users and, also for not providing the necessary functionality so that the user could control what is being sent to Microsoft. Although forgotten for a few months, this privacy issue, in Microsoft’s main operating system, is back to the discussion, because the European Union wants more clarification on what is done with the information.

For many, this issue was already resolved but the European Union, through the group Article 29 (in charge of complying with data protection laws), again pressures Microsoft, according to Reuters. According to the information, the Article 29 group has asked Microsoft for information about what happens to data that is collected from users’ machines.

In addition to this new center, Microsoft is also preparing Windows 10 to give more control to users. With Creators Update, Microsoft has already promised that they will provide more options so that users can control their privacy.

This will not prevent the company from collecting information from users using Windows 10 but will limit their actions to the most basic elements, leaving out the sensitive information of the user.

For now, the answers to the questions of the European Union are awaited. To really understand what Microsoft does to the data.

Is the lack of privacy in Windows 10 scary?
