~2 Jahre hat eine Arbeitsgruppe der Konferenz der unabhängigen Datenschutz-Aufsichtsbehörden von Bund und Ländern (DSK) versucht, Nachbesserungen bei Microsoft 365 zu erreichen.

After two years of negotiations with Microsoft, the joint committee of the German federal data protection authority and 17 state regulators (DSK) published a devastating statement that essentially says that organizations currently cannot use MS365 in a lawful way under the GDPR.

Key issues raised by the DSK working group include that Microsoft's data processing agreement does not make sufficiently clear how Microsoft uses personal data it allegedly processes on behalf of the client for its own business purposes.

This must be escalated to the EU level.

The document states that it's not clear how Microsoft uses personal data on its clients' users for its own 'business purposes' while Microsoft grants itself extensive rights to do so.

It also states that Microsoft generally processes telemetry data for its own purposes at scale.

Microsoft now markets itself as a trustworthy and responsible tech giant, but it's not.

While keeping a friendly face, it works hard to undermine regulation and normalize corporate data misuse, including at work, not to mention its surveillance marketing and defense businesses.

@wchr America is temporarily an ally of the free world and being in defense is temporarily defensible.

I wouldn't blame anyone for having defense contracts in 1939.
