The main reason for this is that Microsoft’s privacy policy states they will sell your information to third parties unless you specifically clear this option. Microsoft Teams has a huge amount of information on its users, and this was one of the reasons some left the service.

Why was the platform down for users?
As Microsoft Teams was down, there were many reports of users being unable to access the platform. This meant that there was a problem with the service, and people who used it took to Twitter to post their troubles. There were also reports that some service users lost all of their files, as well as documents and image files. The issue with files began after a software update failed to be installed properly on the server for Teams.
The issue with the software not being able to be installed has now been resolved and some users who were previously unable to access the platform have now been able to log back in. The problem first appeared around 6:45 am IST, with Microsoft saying that they will give a full update but only after the problem had been resolved.
