I don't think he said anything weird in the policy. The difference he is talking about is simple.. Microsoft says they'll sell no matter what whereas Google gives the user the option.I don't find anything sinister in the Privacy Statement from Microsoft. It looks similar to any other OS disclaimer to me.
I do, however, have reason to believe that Google's incessant tracking in order to commoditize me and target advertising to me is way more intrusive.
To each their own, I suppose.
This was the final straw that broke this camel's back 2 weeks ago after a short 3 week trial...
I've never gotten this on Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile. I'm very resentful about this intrusion into my personal assistant. I don't want Target Ads, don't need Target Ads, never requested Target Ads, asked the system not to show me Target Ads and what did I get? Repetitive Target Ads. Google may not have given my information to Target, but they told Target, "Hey, we saw somebody go into Target. Want us to get him for you?"
I'm not happy about it. I never was happy about it. It is a primary reason I left Android prior, several years ago. They want me to agree that I'm a walking sponge for adverts and they have an inalienable right to serve them to me whenever they choose... And make money from doing so.
I consider my device less personal and less under my personal control when Google is involved.
