I like that you used reason in the title of this.

Getting butthurt about Windows 10 privacy concerns is like thinking you should build a wall to keep out the mongols while the mongols are balls deep in your village, burning down all your houses.

Windows is already spying on everyone, corporations are already trading personal data at a whim to anyone, and politicians are and have always been, out for themselves above all else.

If a person really wants to fight it, they should do things like support the ACLU and EFF who are trying to curb these things, or get even more active in the political system. It also helps to educate oneself about information and network security.

In the meantime, here's a guide on how to setup Windows 10 to be less full of spywareness (sorry Kagatob, it's a Reddit link):
