Microsoft received the German Big Brother Award 2023 for its "life's work" yesterday, April 28, 2023, because it uses its market power to force people, companies and public authorities to constantly transmit data during their digital activities, thereby making themselves subject to real-time surveillance. It is already the third Big Brother Award for Microsoft after 2002 and 2018 – that has to be achieved first.

The German Big Brother Award is an annual negative prize for data protection awarded to authorities, companies, organizations and politicians. The French magazine Le Monde once called the award the "Oscars for data octopi," because the winners – data sinners from business and politics – have to earn the award by taking action. The Big Brother Award is organized by digitalcourage, the Chaos Computer Club and the German Deutsche Vereinigung für Datenschutz e.V. (an Association for Data Protection), among others.
