Unwanted Tackbar Item

Windows 10 ver 20H2

I get get a strange icon on my taskbar and it produces this. What is it and how can I get rid of this unwanted thing?

Thank you

It's called "News and interests". If you right-click the Taskbar, News and interests comes up as an entry which, if followed further, includes a "Turn off" option. Exercise that option and it's gone. No big deal.
Hope this helps,

Wow, that was too easy.

Thank you.

It's there to determine who you are, especially politically. When a major election rises you'll see candidates from your party rarely or presented with a slightly negative tone. You'll also see candidates you oppose presented in a mildly good light. That is: the way they make Windows free is buy selling subliminal influence.

Don't worry. Apple and Google do it too.
