From 30 September, new terms and conditions will apply to Microsoft customers. If you do not adhere to a vague code of conduct when using products of the quasi-monopolist, your account can be blocked and you can lose access to all paid or free services and your data stored there. Recourse is available on a discretionary basis through Microsoft.
According to Microsoft’s new “services agreement” the following applies:
“Severe or repeated violations of our policies, including violations of our child exploitation and abuse imagery policy, may result in account suspension. Sometimes a suspension may be permanent. Under permanent suspension, the owner of the suspended profile forfeits all licenses, subscriptions, membership time, and Microsoft account balances. “
You will be allowed to appeal against this to Microsoft. Many of the examples given of prohibited behaviour are criminal acts, from child pornography to phishing. But there are also terms in the Code of Conduct that we have learned are extremely elastic, such as “hate speech” and “offensive”. It has become customary to call it hate speech, if someone criticises the government or a person in a harsh way. It is also relatively easy to fall foul of copyright protection without being criminally inclined.
