Is this true? Are there an insiders that can confirm?

EDIT: I believe the confusion comes from this quora answer: https://www.quora.com/What-is-Microsoft-Cloud-Background-Check

Indeed, I know that quora is not a reliable source of information so I wanted to dig deeper. Moreover I read this document as well [1] but it was worded a little confusing.
