@ 2017/01/20Changes please the regulators but not everyone
While regulators are happy with Windows 10’s privacy changes, users might be miffed that Vole has not given a complete opt-out feature.
Microsoft announced several privacy changes in Windows 10 to pacify regulators. The Swiss data protection and privacy regulator, the FDPIC said last week said it would drop its threats of a lawsuit after the Microsoft "agreed to implement" a string of recommendations it made last year.
It looks like Microsoft’s moves have not impressed the French data protection watchdog, the CNIL. While the French are rarely happy with anything, CNIL said that the changes "seem to comply" with its complaint, but it's now analysing more details of Microsoft answers to see if all the failures underlined in the formal notice do now comply with the law.
