>France orders Microsoft to stop tracking Windows 10 users

>France's data protection commission has ordered Microsoft to "stop collecting excessive user data" and to stop tracking the web browsing of Windows 10 users without their consent. In a notice published on Wednesday, the CNIL said that Microsoft must also take steps to guarantee "the security and confidentiality" of its users' personal information, after determining that the company was still transferring data to the US under the "Safe Harbor" agreement that an EU court invalidated in October. Microsoft has three months to comply with the orders, the CNIL said.

>The CNIL says it decided to issue the notice due to the "seriousness of the breaches and the number of individuals concerned," saying there are more than 10 million Windows users in France. The CNIL found that Microsoft is collecting "excessive" data on Windows 10 users, including the specific apps they download and how much time they spend on each one. The organization added that the company uses cookies to serve personalized ads without properly informing users or allowing them to opt out, and that the four-character PIN system used to access Microsoft services is insecure, because there is no limit on the number of attempts a user can make.

>If Microsoft does not comply within the three-month window, the CNIL says it may appoint an investigator who could recommend sanctions against the company. "The purpose of the notice is not to prohibit any advertising on the company’s services but, rather, to enable users to make their choice freely, having been properly informed of their rights," the CNIL said in a statement.

>tl;dr France's CNIL ordered MIcrosoft to stop tracking it's users and Microsoft must comply within 3 months

Users already read and agreed with EULA so what is the problem? Botnet is comfy.

A lot of computer illiterate people suddenly got their windows 7/8 installation automatically upgraded to windows 10.

I don't remember how the upgrade process went, but I'm pretty plenty of people were just clicking wherever to get to the desktop, only to find they've been automatically put on the botnet

Woah. They may have someone recommend sanctions after 3 months if Microsoft ignores them, which they likely will. Getting the fangs out over here.
>>
They do this and yet not with Google

One could expect that after two bloody attacks by Muslims in less than 2 years they would stop all Muslim immigration

But they didn't, because the French people are a bunch of cunts

Nothing will happen. France needs Microsoft more than Microsoft needs France. What's France going to do, outlaw Windows in their country?
>>
>>55719805
Eula is not binding on Europe

>France needs Microsoft more than Microsoft needs France
linux, like the US government is switching to

>What's France going to do, outlaw Windows in their country?
Actually yes, they can ban sales of the product for at least all government uses, if not for all private sectors as well. which then means people will be pirating it and other M$ software more which means less M$ sales

inb4 "hurr government cant ban...." We're talking about France, not the US. no such thing as freedom

They can ban it for private consumption just as well, Europe is a fascist superstate. If they want something banned it can and will get banned continent wide. Might just be France now, but don't rely on it staying that way.
>>
>>55723119
Not just government, private industry to. Corporations love throwing away stable, proprietary software they've been using for decades and switching over to entirely new, inevitably buggy solutions that put their entire business at risk ;)

Every French person I've met, even turbo normies, are even more obsessed with avoiding the botnet than most people on /g/.

I'm not surprised.
