    If people moved to Linux and used FOSS software, these privacy violations wouldn’t even be a problem.

      Most people who use teams do so on work devices, I can’t just install Linux on it.

      For the next year or so.

      State law in California (and soon, Colorado), as well as UK and EU laws, are beginning to require OSs to spy on users and developers. Privacy-focused Linux and FOSS software will soon be deemed illegal in these jurisdictions. Which will make it a liability for companies, and force them back to shitty commercial offerings.
