So the links I provided are conspiracy, are they? And time has shown that what people were saying years ago were conspiracy theorists, now have been proven to be correct

Overt monitoring of employees while they work is not illegal, I know lots of global companies that admit to doing it so using functionality within a computer app to do it isn't a conspiracy as much as you may want it to be. The second link is just garbage, if your going to highlight teams then you might as well highlight standard email if you want to talk about spreading malware.

Concur, i do not use Microsoft products in a personal capacity. They've become spyware, spammy and fiddly.

Detest Teams especially with all the nags about "new features" nobody wanted. Always does it when you're busy.

Most Microsoft stuff is entirely blocked on my home network and will stay that way.
