So they won't read your email themselves, but they still reserve the right to rummage through any documents you have stored in their cloud.

It's time to update a children's campfire classic:
"Microsoft read the emails from the email jar."
"Who us?" "Yes you!"
"Well okay, but now we we wont." "Then who?"
"The cops!" "Well the cops found something. Then they told you."
"Who us?" "Yes you!"
"Couldn't be." "Then who?"
"Yahoo!" "So Yahoo read the emails from the email jar?"
"Yes." "But you provide some of Yahoo's back end services."
"Uh, but not those!"

Here's a new revelation about how Microsoft treats users' data: It seems that Microsoft OneDrive for Business modifies files as it syncs without notification and without changing the file modification time stamp.
Just what is going on is not clear, and might be completely harmless, but it certainly reinforces concerns about privacy in the Microsoft cloud.

Even more than concerns for privacy, it should be causing people to raise holy hell about file corruption.
