I installed Windows 11. A couple hours later, I was horrified to find that Windows 11 uploaded all files on my desktop to Microsoft. There's no warning or opt-in. OneDrive is set up by default to silently copy all your files. How is that legal?
Windows 10 had the same behavior. MacOS has also done this by default for years now. I don’t say this to excuse the behavior. On the contrary, I’ve seen many a small business owner run afoul of compliance requirements because they aren’t aware of the default behavior. Slurping data to consumer-grade cloud services ought to require informed consent.
