washington lawsuits

The washington lawsuits tag on WindowsForum.com collects discussion of legal disputes unfolding in Washington state courts that involve Microsoft and its products. The current focus is a proposed class action brought by four students over alleged collection of personal information through school-provided software, including Microsoft 365 and Minecraft Education. Coverage follows Microsoft's motion asking a Washington state court to dismiss the case, its arguments that federal law preempts certain claims, and its position that students lacked a reasonable expectation of privacy. Threads distinguish company arguments from actual court rulings and examine where authorized educational data processing ends and allegedly improper use begins.
