Haha this conversation with #Windows lawyers is so wild I don't even find time to post here about it.

So, I asked them how it's legal under the #DMA's Art 5(2) data cross-use prohibition to automatically sign up Windows users with #OneDrive and thereby sharing my personal data (login credentials) with the service.

The lawyers confirmed that this is what they do and argued strangely this was legal because "there are many ways to sign in to Windows". Local accounts anyone? 🤥
