Looking as you cannot completely disable telemetry in windows 10 i fail to see how it is opt-in, or even opt-out. It is always on.


I don't use Windows 10, but I from what I understand Microsoft had to make it GDPR compliant. I'm not sure they succeeded entirely with that (last time I checked, the German government did not find it GDPR compliant. Regardless, at the very least it was an improvement [which isn't an excuse]).


> Microsoft had to make it GDPR compliant.

Not really. It's more like they have an army of lawyers paid so they can claim GDPR compliance, and delay/suppress or negotiate deals for years (if not decades) anything that comes up to say their not.

That being said, apparently there are already ongoing legal cases around GDPR complaints for MS. No idea how those will end up.
