    No government is requesting this and nothing can stop this massive transfer of personal information

    Plenty of governments don’t need to request it because they already have all this info. Like China.

      My point is highlighting that this action is outside of any established set of laws. There is literally no regulation around what a company can do to keep information private.

        Aren’t they using the legal system in this case? So it is by definition, within a set of established laws. Though to me it’s not clear if the judge will let them actually get this data. If this were Apple, Apple would probably push back. Microsoft might just give it away for fun though.

        My point was simply refuting the “no government” part of your statement. There are plenty of authoritarian governments that are just as bad on privacy
