This is just another example that Microsoft don't give af about user's privacy or content. Users don't have the luxury of having big lawyers and patents and copywrite protections that Microsoft themselves have. The fact that he also said that it's a "gray area" we're exploring regarding organizations who explicitly put do not crawl on their site, also shows their lack of care. Hopefully social media outlets will do something about this to protect user generated content from being used as "freeware" (even though that analogy is terrible, it's more stealing people's work from someone's gallery or notebook).

A group of likeminded people in Artificial Intelligence are talking about this.
