“Sharing” is a funny way to word a headline. They are selling it, for a profit, because it’s legal. It’s immoral and shady as hell, but “prevent it or expect it” applies here.
That’s not always a choice, without hurdles. I have a truck with it, but I would have no idea how to disable it short of cutting the antenna wire for it.

I asked if there was a Copilot extension for VS Code, and it said yup, talked about how to install it, and even configure it. That was completely fabricated, and as soon as I asked for more detail to prove it was real, chat’s over.
The fact that the ad revenue button is more emphasized and easier to press (closer to screen edge) says a lot about the value of you being their product vs. you simply paying them for access.

Getting off social media and replacing Chrome with Firefox. Also uBlock Origin, NextDNS, and moving my IoT devices onto their own network so they can’t spy on my trusted devices (and NextDNS blocks their telemetry).

Nope, but I also feel like Apple would have it off by default, unlike Microsoft.
