The Microsoft has not clarified certain things, and here we have listed the same –

  • On what basis the Microsoft will categorise the offensive words, acts, and phrases as there is a declaration on this point.
  • Skype is a platform that is private and here monitoring the act of using offensive words is quite complicated. If it is any other public social media platform then policing the rule can be easy.
