*kopfschüttel* Der Hessische Datenschutzbeauftragte meint, MS365 könne datenschutzkonform genutzt werden. Unter anderem wegen der Nebelkerze, dass die Daten ja in der EU lägen.

Auch nach EU-Recht eher fragliche Accountsperren für Behörden und Organisationen werden offenbar komplett wegignoriert.

"Microsoft was an early investor in many of the latest AI companies. It ended up with a serious stake in OpenAI and benefited from early access to its models, creating Bing Chat and Copilot when Google, Meta, and Anthropic were just getting started. But now its momentum has stalled, and like everyone else, it's not making much money from its AI products. That's because no one is buying them, and that is because very few people actually find them useful, The Information reports."
