Microsoft Copilot Spying On Me

Anonymous

When I went to bing.com, I looked at my news, only to find copilot in my results in the top. The pictures are here as they follow:

Some of these are my personal questions, but the first one was completely redundant to me. It's very creepy and I just want it to go away, and it feels like it's watching me every search that I make. If there's a fix, please explain to me. I want privacy and I don't want to always feel like I'm being watched.

    Microsoft takes privacy very seriously, and Copilot is designed with user privacy in mind. The appearance of Copilot in your search results is not an indication of monitoring; it's likely a feature intended to enhance your search experience by providing quick access to information and assistance.

    If Microsoft takes privacy so seriously, why do they install this without giving people any notice. My computer was running fine yesterday, today it is seriously lagging trying to load a web page so I restart. After restart I have this new icon on my taskbar and no idea what it is.

    I do a quick search and I find it is some garbage program I would NEVER install willingly and you fs have put it on my computer without my permission. It might be time to look into another OS.

    "it's likely a feature intended to enhance your search experience"

    "likely intended"? That does not inspire any kind of confidence. You're a Microsoft employee, why can't you provide a definitive answer?

    What a load of bull! Microsoft pushes Edge, Bing, copilot & more. When I choose a default browser, does Microsoft respect that? I use Chrome & my searches are from Bing. M/S keeps pushing their programs no matter what I do. Can't uninstall them. Can't stop them. Microsoft is an infection that has no remedy other than Apple or Linux. I'm so disgusted with this surveillance, I'm about ready to dump Windows forever. It was once a great program. I will always remember that Gates changed computing forever with Windows. But now, this despicable company is only interested in stealing information. For all I know they are selling information to Communist China. Oversight is needed for this company at best, or they should be investigated for treason at worst.
