In a March 1 release, Microsoft is warning customers using Office, Xbox, Skype, and other products that the company is prohibiting offensive language and inappropriate content starting on May 1. āDonāt publicly display or use the Services to share inappropriate content or material (involving, for example, nudity, bestiality, pornography, offensive language, graphic violence, or criminal activity),ā Microsoft warns in a portion of their new codes of conduct.
Microsoft also added that the company plans on āinvestigatingā users who are accused of violating the new policy and will block content from being sent to other people. āWhen investigating alleged violations of these Terms, Microsoft reserves the right to review Your Content in order to resolve the issue,ā the new policy states.
