Microsoft has rebranded Office into "Microsoft 365 Copilot" and now forces your documents through its AI — processing confidential business data on US-controlled infrastructure. A major law firm is already preparing to sue over AI training data practices.

If you handle sensitive client or employee data, you owe it to your business to understand what is happening and consider European alternatives.

@axels at this point, you’re forced to make a choice, either force Microsoft to do the right thing or switch platform altogether. Mind you, you have no control over Microsoft and rely on others and the judiciary to fix it in the nearby future, you can only hope for the best. Or simply pick a Linux distribution that suits your needs and switch.

@estibensito_ thanks. We need our governments to stop buying M$ and Google, and remove tax breaks. Customers can only vote with their feet and they need to know what's happening.

@axels thank you for this substantiation. I have also posted it on FB as a warning to all those who did not believe me.

@connynasch thanks for the repost/retoot :-) It's shocking how mainstream media is not even that interested in this.
