France orders Microsoft to stop collecting excessive user data

By Julia Fioretti BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The French data protection authority on Wednesday ordered Microsoft Corporation to stop collecting excessive data on users of its Windows 10 operating system and serving them personalized ads without their consent. The CNIL said the U.S. company had three months to stop tracking browsing by users so that Windows apps and third-party apps can offer them targeted advertising without their consent, failing which it could initiate a sanctions procedure.
