Yes, yes, and yes. Microslop has shown they will “accidentally” leak stuff if you threaten to move so governments should move.

As they realized in Europe, Microsoft will turn data over to the US govt if requested, so using it on sensitive systems should be seen as a bigger security threat than some video app.
