Hello, If you like mysteries, try this spine-chilling read: Microsoft Services Agreement (in effect as of 30 September 2023) We read it—along with four lawyers and three privacy experts—and none of us could tell if Microsoft plans on using your personal data to train its AI models. Before the service agreement went into effect, we asked Microsoft a simple question: Are you using our personal data to train AI? Microsoft has still not responded to our question, even though this service agreement is now in effect. That’s why we urgently need your help to pressure Microsoft for answers. Can you add your name to our petition asking Microsoft to say if they’re using our personal data to train AI? This new agreement covers around 130 Microsoft products—including Office, Skype, Outlook, Teams, Minecraft, and Xbox—and mentions things like audio, video, chat, and attachments. With that much personal data at stake, it’s especially troubling for Microsoft to be so ambiguous about its usage. With last week's government actions on AI around the world – including the U.S. government looking more closely at how big tech companies manage personal data and AI – we have an opportunity to get a response. We don't know if Microsoft is already collecting and using our personal data, which is why it’s especially important for us to act now. We hope we can count on you to join the tens of thousands of other people who have taken action. Sign our petition asking Microsoft to say if they’re using our personal data to train AI. Thank you for all you do for the internet, Christian Bock Head of Supporter Engagement Mozilla Foundation PS: After you take action to sign our petition, we will ask you to make a contribution to help power our work. A contribution is entirely optional, but much appreciated as we build our campaigns against the big tech companies. |
