[QUOTE]Microsoft has a 22-page document which outlines how they store all your private data in their online servers. The document also tells government agencies how they can get it. But, oh surprise, they don't want you to see it:
The document was unearthed by Cryptome, the site who previously unveiled similar papers by Facebook, Skype, and other online giants. When Microsoft learned about it, they sent their rabid law dogs to tear Cryptome apart, Digital Millennium Copyright Act in one hand, iron bar in the other. So far they have managed to coerce Cryptome's host company to take down the site the pages aren't taken down. Network Solutions complied with Microsoft's barking, passing along the message to Cryptome that, if they don't take down the "secret" material, they would take down the whole site.
Obviously, Microsoft and Network Solutions don't give a damn about public interest. Make no mistake: Knowing what Microsoft can disclose and how, no matter if you are a criminal or just some innocent dude using Microsoft's services, should interest you.[/QUOTE]

:tinfoil:
its not as if they couldnt bust your ass without this or anything
Not surprised to be honest.
Back to linux for me than.
great scott!
Oh shit oh fuck the government knows what I'm fapping too! :tinfoil:
I don't really see a problem in all this. Basically every well-known company that offers online services stores data from its users for a specific amount of time. Isn't it required by law nowadays?
Can someone summarise everything they can disclose because it'd make it a lot easier than reading the 22 page document.
Not like I care
I don't think this matters for most people.

Subpoena:
Name, address, IP logs, emails older than 180 days
Court order:
Above + Contacts, WEBTV And MSN Internet Access history
Search warrant:
Both above + Emails newer than 180 days
This isn't something easily accessible for anyone in the government, they need to go through the proper legal channels in order to get even the slightest piece of information.
Though, I do in a moral sense.
lol
Don't worry guys, I heard tinfoil helps keep your info off of Obama's hands.

I was pretty surprised when I found this out too years ago. Then again, nothing on the internet is safe. Where I work we deal with chat logs and email logs from all sorts of companies such as Microsoft Hotmail and Google Gmail that have been seized by warrants issued by the courts for use as evidence in major crime cases, it happens all the time.
And nothing is going to happen.
OP made it sound much worse than it actually is.
Those despicable fucks! How dare they store my information like that?
*performs google search, checks gmail, changes DNS to google public dns*
[QUOTE=windwakr;20405601]It only keeps track of your use of their online services, [b]what company doesn't[/b] do that?
If you're worried about this, just stop using hotmail, msn messenger(they only log connections made, not the actual chat), and Microsoft's shitty social networking site. Problem solved.[/QUOTE]
I was worried when i read the thread title, But your post made me relax again :)
Also true. Most company's online services you use keep track of it.
I don't use any of Microsoft's sites. I've beat their system!

i mean really unless you're doing/plotting some seriously majorly illegal shit, it's not gonna effect you at all
Oh no! My plan to dominate the world is over! Thanks to those diabolical schemers and their dreadful accumilation of my evil plan! If you hear me, I shall have my vengance! Victory shall be mine!
But for now, my cupcakes are done...
Now someone finds out that Steam logs every server you log in, your games and your friends

Oh and your e-mail, login IP's, credit cards and few more things...
To be honest, I love this stuff.
I love the thought of conspiracy theorists awaiting an ambush by government agents who want to ruin their lives and take away their rights, even though they're useless to the government, making minimum wage and spending their days hiding in their cramped apartment jerking off to old pornos on VHS.
If you're of any use to the government, then you already know how to protect your shit
And every time you click on a link on Facepunch.com, its redirected to a UK company who store the URL into a massive database (redirectingat.com).
You have no privacy on the Internet.
OH CRAP. That's another place that store information on every website I go to next to the other 50 places!
