For those who say there’s not a lot of tracking and surveillance in Microsoft’s products, why would a domain controller need to contact various places at Microsoft so many times in less than 11 minutes? And this happens day in, day out, 24 hours a day.

I have it all blocked, of course. Two different ways: at the DNS level and at the firewall. That’s why it’s in red (in this case, from pihole). But I’ve been told that I am paranoid; another instance of gaslighting about these issues that is so common now. But it’s not paranoia if it’s happening.
