Great! I like getting tracked by 766 third parties! thanks Outlook

Agree this is bullshit, but at least there’s a Reject All button which is far more than we probably would have got prior to the introduction of GDPR.

I went on a site the other day, and a massive popup appeared before I could do anything.

"We Respect Your Privacy"

1200+ "data partners".

Big blue "Accept" button.

Yeah, no you don't.

Wait until the EU tells them (funny enough that their own lawyers didn't tell them?) that they are required to name each party specifically and together with the specific purpose of their data sharing.

766 third parties

Facebook: look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power

Outlook also sends all your email, including those from other accounts, to their cloud. No questions asked. Oh, also your password, because why not?

Also, it's the language scam of the decade to have a [privacy] agreement or terms with a "third party" which is basically anonymous/anyone/indeterminate/changing/.

Literally who would knowingly accept that

At least there's a "Reject all" button.

They'll write "you're welcome" on your bathroom mirror when they track that you're in the shower.

All MS software should be considered spyware.

It's just a shame that Outlook doesn't really have an alternative with the same level of functionality (not without spending a while adding on a bunch of add-ons anyway), and many workplaces (including mine) enforce use of Outlook and other MS software.

Libreoffice? Open office? Thunderbird? Proton unlimited with its calendar?

lol, glad i switched from outlook to protonmail

Thats gross. Just no. Use thunderbird or some other FOSS email client, at least outlook is somewhat limited with its spyware BS when you get mail through IMAP

Im tired of telling windows people something they already know. Its your choice to use a completely corporate cucked operating system for your personal computing, you don't get to clutch pearls and act suprised over it being complete spyware, or whenever microsoft decides it wants to erode your user experience just a little bit more because they can.

Fun fact! If you have outlook on your phone with a work account added, chances are IT has admin access to your phone and can remotely wipe it at any time. Also means that your phone can be collected as evidence if you or the company is involved in a court case possibly related to emails

It's a wonder how Outlook and Exchange Server are used by most companies, many of which have sensitive confidential and proprietary data. Choosing Microsoft is all about having someone to blame for your security problems, not achieving secure communications and storage.

766 = 365 * 2 + 36

That then is one third party, one fourth party, one fifth party, …, and one 768th party, amirite?

Oh well as long as it's their legitimate interest, then by all means!

It really does shock me, even though it should not at this point, that nearly all governments, even more progressive ones in terms of privacy, are absolutely just watching from the sidelines as the fabric of their own society is deteriorating. Bravo leaders. Bravo. /s

Jeez, if I'm that popular, why aren't all those 766 members of my fanclub following me on Instagram?

Wait, is this real? o_O

Nope, the extreme battery saver greys out all disabled apps and leaves others alone. Calling is colored, messaging... and outlook.

Why not 767?

I heard it's up to 769 now.

Outlook sucks, the android app is marked as an essential/core app, meaning even in super battery saver it's running in the background eating away a shitton of battery when you really don't want it to do that.

Your own fault, sorry. It's common knowledge these days that you shouldn't use microsoft products.

I mean, do you not see the "Reject all" button?
