This isn't hard to pull off when you're executing said file. If hackers are so capable then why aren't they so widespread and why haven't way more companies been hacked yet?
Unless you don't know they're even stalking you in the first place. Besides I was making the argument that your "personal" info isn't as personal as you think.
And you know they wont do something bad with the data. Why would they?
Also, to me you're stating opinions, not facts.
The problem is the user doesn't know it's going on. Nobody would willingly put a virus on their computer if they knew it was bad or that it was a virus. Same thing with malicious packets. Hacking events ARE extremely widespread and lots of companies have been hacked in 2015 alone. You just don't know where to look.

In fact, there have been several just this month.
"Unless you don't know they're stalking you in the first place" is equivalent to someone who doesn't want the invasive practices of Windows 10, but uses it anyways because they haven't been informed of the invasive practices in the first place. Again, informing them allows them to avoid it in much the same way that if you knew who was stalking you, you could call the police on them.
The problem is you don't know exactly what files and communications they're collecting, you don't know what they're doing with it (And they could be doing anything they wanted), and you can't control anything in the process. Many people simply aren't comfortable with that, and many people don't trust Microsoft. Many people don't trust
anyone with their private information. Again, that's
their choice. Trying to force or peer pressure someone into doing something they're not okay with is richardish on many levels and I sense that's what you're trying to do.
Again, I'm only stating what I've found on their official website on their official privacy policy. They chose to put the fact that they spy on their users in their official website in their official privacy policy.
Ok, for the people who keep loving bitching about the privacy and bloatware on Windows 10:

This disables all the privacy invasion you can't disable manually.
This blocks their tracking servers, diagnostics tracking, their tracking services, and Telemetry.
Now you don't have to worry about our privacy being invaded.
I don't even know if this was posted yet.
It still doesn't disable the mandatory disclosures that Microsoft has put in place. Nowhere is it stated where it is in the system, so more than likely it's been missed.
