      This is not only about data transmitted to the US, but also about data located in the EU - but still under the Microsoft umbrella, a US company.

      Even if you know or strongly suspect something it is important to confirm and have it on record.

      Also, many people don’t have the technical or judicial expertise. It’s obvious to you because you already know it.

      This admission and the following press coverage was likely a significant revelation and wake-up call for a lot of people.
