“I want to note our appreciation for the reporting of the Guardian,” [Microsoft’s vice-chair and president, Brad Smith] wrote, noting that it had brought to light “information we could not access in light of our customer privacy commitments”. He added: “Our review is ongoing.”

Its interesting that they seem to be saying they dont know the full details of how their customers are using Azure, due to privacy commitments.

Weird, pretty sure employees brought this to their attention a few times already…

If they act on information their employees report, they are violating their commitments.

No, because those employees didn't learn about it by snooping around in Azure data.
