A lot of protons IP space is blocked. I'd bet every major provider has a significant number of IPs blocked.
Reddit blocks when they can to attempt and force you to expose your real IP. Once given they can associate it to your activity and make that sweet sweet money they crave.

I hate that your example is the reason I'm standing link warden up. Sometimes ms leaves me thinking I've gone mad
They are a corporation. They exist to make money for ahareholders. The reputational harm of mass surveiling their peer corpos is colossal. Sure, their could absolutely be a rouge individual and we see it time and time again, but mass scale hovering of another companies IP? Nah, expecting that borders conspiracy.
Microsoft and their business practices are shit. It is very much a take it or leave it scenerio. Amazon, the competition, just went all in on M365 services for their operations. You expect that MS is actively stealing their data to enrich themselves. Sure, possible. Their teck would allow it, but I bet the service contract mandates consent and observation anytime an MS agent engages with Amazon's deployment. And I'd bet it all they honor that contract.
Why risk everything on spying? They are doing just fine sucking up the publics data when contracts aren't in place. Individuals should stay the fuck away but big coropos is another game entirely
I work with our complianceand privacy attorneys and the contracts we maintain protect our data, state it is ours, and guarantees it is not used to train on ai.
I hate ms as much as anyone hear but it is misguided to think no one is protecting your or your companies intersects.
I used it today to communicate my feelings on a topic I can't control. Like, me venting isnt going to improve my or the questioners situation.
In principal I am against thought-termination. Sometimes, like a good dog, you gotta put a thought out of its misery
