They're emphasizing their ability to suspend all services and accounts of any user who violates their MS Services Agreement.
A rather lengthy list, but this statement caught my attention: "Don’t engage in activity that is harmful to you, the Services or others (e.g., transmitting viruses, stalking, posting terrorist or violent extremist content, communicating hate speech, or advocating violence against others).
I wonder who gets to define the above? What, exactly, will they consider hate speech?
If you read your EULA you don’t own your copy of windoze... you are leasing it from them. SAS. Software as a service. They can end your lease anytime they want for any reason of their choosing
What was the subject line of this email?
Why were you one of the only people to get it? What precipitated this email?
Inquiring minds want to know!

half the planet just got that email.
Do you regularly get email from MS?
Hate speech is whatever someone says it is. There is no recourse.

It could have very official looking Microsoft logos and branding, but be coming from a weird address like wombatsauce.euro.it or something. Those are all scammers
doing spoofing.
If you have to ask, you must be guilty. JMHO
“I wonder who gets to define the above? What, exactly, will they consider hate speech?“
Don’t say anything bad, and you’ll have nothing to worry about.
Anything that goes against the Covid 19 narrative will be considered harmful to others... therefore “hate speech”.
Are you a straight White male?
Then everything you say is hateful...
They removed my video player in their accursed Windows Ten upgrade they made me take. In their “store” was a free player that gave me a virus. Fortunately, zapping it took the virus off. They do some skunky things.
BLM and antifa terrorism are approved however
One man's virus is another man's feature.
dissent = hate speech
