Disturbing that they would be proud enough of spying on their users to post this. Threat intelligence is nearly as bad as the threats themselves. From crowdstrike destroying computer systems to this type of spying on their own users, who wants to trust these people? What happened to holding microsoft accountable for the security of their products?

It’s not that we’re spying on users for fun. We’re analyzing the browser history so determine if the history contains any sites that are associated with malicious activity. We definitely don’t care about your pr0n

You're supposed to spy on an organization's users and machines for the benefit of the organization that has contracted you. That's not what you're doing here. You've taken an adversarial relationship with your (potential) customer, acting to harm them.

Presumably legal, but morally gray.
