Oh yes, I'm sure that US police departments everywhere are very diligent in following Microsoft's EULAs and TOSs.

Lol at the people believing this load of nonsense... Microsoft is a US military contractor and has provided their Clearview AI face recognition database for special military goggles and other purposes, as well as for Boston Dynamics war robots.

Ok so they're not allowed to use Azure OpenAI, but there's certainly a secret Microsoft department called Thin-Blue-Line ClosedAI which provides support to cops using AI for facial recognition and pre-crime.

A company so powerful it tells the police what they can and can’t do. Welcome to the end times
