Access meaning read, modify, delete, etc. Pretty standard definition, unless you know of a different meaning of access I’m not privy to.

Microsoft can certainly request that we perform actions against repositories, as can governments, customers, random people on the street, etc. Whether action is taken in those cases is a question for lawyers to fight over, but we have the engineering guardrails in place to require it to be an intentional, audited action.

I appreciate the spicy question tho, even if misguided!

Can you state with absolute сertainity that no entity outside your github unit can exfiltrate data at will?

This is not spicy, this is basic infosec.
