Doesn’t M$’s servers, through Cortana and Edge, read your emails, browsing history, locally-stored files, etc, which are different from the data collected by M$ with the Basic setting for Telemetry & Data collection ?
Have M$ gotten a clear consent from users of Cortana and Edge in Europe, instead of the compulsory “I agree” button for the Win 10 EULA ? -
