Does anyone know if the EU protects against this? I am in Europe (well Switzerland, so technically not EU, but GDPR etc. nonetheless) and using windows 11 as my daily driver on two machines (one with beta) I have never seen ads.

EDIT: except for the ‘finish setting up’ stuff after bigger updates, those I do get.

It’s certainly not the oppressive government that is to blame or morally scold here. Definitely. It must be the person just voicing their frustration with it that’s the problem. Absolutely.

Really - just re-read what kind of BS you’re saying.
