    an obscure clause in TOS won’t be a small print of an evil villain speech exposing their plot in clear wording. what it would be is something worded vaguely enough to make things seem like the end user technically agreed to what was being done

    That means nothing. Illegal terms can’t be enforced in contracts or terms of service.

    it’s always going to be a technicality that in case of a lawsuit would be a valid defence in the eyes of law

    No. Written law always takes precedence. If they spied on your data stored in OneDrive, they’d lose by default the moment the case hit the courthouse.

    As for your second paragraph: yeah, I agree. If they did that, the damage would’ve already been done. But it would kill the business once found out. The benefit is not worth the risk.

    For example: you’re saying that they would use it to train AI, right?

    They don’t train AI. They get a trained model from OpenAI.
