to vast majority of people this is unthinkable. They will also likely just not even notice news like this because they dont pay attention to such things and likely dont even care about their personal info until something bad happens to them because of that.
Stealing this info and posting it publicly is an important way to fight back. Once prole hear their credit card is being defrauded because of recall it will be untenable for it to stay
We already know this. It's not just Microsoft; Google, Meta, and other big tech companies are also involved in similar practices.

Moral blackmail and shaming will be the new industries of the future!
Makes sense why they want this technology so much, one thing has really been achieved - in year 2005 you couldn't make a program that would be a keylogger and a useful thing all in one, so you had to make a keylogger somehow detect those rare events one can risk it running, or something like that. You couldn't instruct it in English "send me his private messages on sites like Facebook", you had to be specific and solve problems. Now you can. And these "AI"'s are usually one program with generic purpose. To stuff everything together with kinda useful things.
