Having Teams remind you that, during session recordings, your video and what you say can be used by Microsoft for whatever purpose they want, including (but not limited to) training AI.
This wasn't the line that was crossed? Seeing/hearing your likeness in the next generated AI / copilot commercial, because you needed to consent in order to work. This is "fine" /s
... but having Microsoft know that you're answering Teams messages while on the toilet... yeah, that's where "the line gets crossed" (eyeroll)
We need to wake-up and drop this technological cancer.

"It's okay, because it's Microsoft" is management's response when I raise a concern at work.

"It's okay, because it's Microsoft"
"You mean the mass surveillance corporation under the control of the nazis?"
