I'm not following. Can you provide a link about the innocent law-abiding citizens being arrested?So people being arrested, because MS reported their private files is hype? Yes, it is against their TOS to store illegal files, but it only shows, that MS is monitoring everything and it even admits it but saying, it is OK, we do not share it with anyone, unlike google, which shares email content with 3rd parties, according to its TOS.
If you Agree to their ToS (that no one reads) and upload non-encrypted illegal (whatever it may be) content on their servers, is it not fair for Microsoft to police their own servers?
Microsoft have a responsibility to keep their users safe whilst using their services which may include monitoring for malicious activity - example, suspicious log-ins, to preventing a malicious downloads from OneDrive, they also probably have a system (machine is not human) in place that detects when an user uploads something illicit.
Off-Topic.
Edit: Fixed errors.
