A brave action by Microsoft into protecting their users and respecting their privacy that will take effect next month with the updated Terms of Service. At the beginning of this month, the Reset The Net campaign had recently won and protected the customers' privacy but then, the crooky ISPs in America or something are like some of the enemies left as well as the TPP bill that has yet to be thwarted. If we don't keep fighting for the internet freedom, then perhaps this new Terms of Service thingy from Microsoft is likely to backfire. But they're already doing their best to protect their customers' privacy by encrypting their respective services we already mentioned in the previous blog posts.
Another brave thing is that even your Xbox Live accounts are going to be protected starting next month as well as your Outlook, OneDrive and Bing. What about Windows Azure and Office 365? Are they missing out? Without the same protection for those two as the one Microsoft's planning, there won't be better reasons to use the latest version of Microsoft Office again. Also, what about Internet Explorer as well? I bet its mascot is going to have a harder but sad time fighting the mysterious cyber-spies alone.
The last thing is that, they WON'T be using their users' personal stuffs to target advertising. It's similar to what they swore when it to came to the Xbox One Kinect but the Xbox Live was something they had to protect and encrypt even more because the Xbox Live as we know it is already affected the cyber-spying agencies. The worse thing was that those agencies were bound to be making use of the Xbox 360 Kinect for the similar motives as well but we and Microsoft are not gonna let that happen to all the Xbox services and systems. Now, the thing is, the accounts for the respective services above are going to be protected starting next month but if the services are getting full protections, that will be the great opportunity to use them again.
Even better is that after the Reset The Net days, the other companies are planning to encrypt their services as well. Wordpress, Mozilla, Google, Dropbox, etc. were some of the major companies involved, leaving Microsoft to be already preparing for similar protections as they already had enough information based on the bad news they had received.
