      the data will no longer be saved locally

      You no longer need to know your location history, only Microsoft and its very close friends will have that data?

        After all, it’s not your location history. It’s Microsoft’s history of where you’ve been. You never monetised it anyway.

          Windows 11 is blatant spyware for Microsoft at this point

              In 10 it was possible to turn it all off and leave it off. In 11 it’s almost impossible to do so.
