"When you use the services, you must follow the Microsoft Services Agreement. If you violate these terms, we may stop providing services to you, close your Microsoft account, or both.

REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages the EU Digital Services Act (DSA) Art. 17 which requires platforms to provide users with a statement of reasons for content moderation decisions and an internal complaints mechanism; EU Charter of Fundamental Rights Art. 47 (right to effective remedy); GDPR Art. 17 right to erasure which must be honored upon account closure; and First Amendment considerations in US jurisdictions for government-adjacent platforms. The European Commission and national Digital Services Coordinators are enforcement authorities for DSA compliance.
