That's the most annoying thing about Microsoft's campaigns. Sure they may be slightly better in some areas than Google, but overall they are just as bad, or worse than Google when it comes to privacy.
Maybe I'd get it if those campaigns came from Mozilla or DuckDuckGo (even though they are still done in poor taste, and resemble too much negative political campaigns), but Microsoft? I just can't take them seriously in regards to that. Microsoft is throwing stones from a glass house, and they should stop.
It would be interesting to see a comparison of Bing search and ads privacy vs. Google's in the same areas. My hunch is that Microsoft would not come out ahead.
Seriously, outside of politics they are the most negative ads I've ever seen. Even rival dishsoap or gym ads never get that extreme; nothing else compares. Did they actually hire a political advertising team or something?
