I released a news section video about not respecting OTHER people's privacy recently. This is interesting because I can't control if a person has put MY photo in THEIR Microsoft account. This needs to be illegal because it adds ME an ID System I didn't approve of

Microsoft is adding AI powered facial recognition to OneDrive. And it can be disabled, but get this: “You can only turn off this setting 3 times a year.” What in tarnations does that mean?
