Blah blah blah blah blah blah, I’m going to ignore 30 years of MS being open about policy and handling oodles of data because it doesn’t align with what I want the policy to be.
Let’s say for the sake of argument that is does remain all local. Hogging up your CPU, RAM, and Disk space, but its all local, unlike every other bit telemetry.
If it is completely local, why would I want it? What does the end user gain? I can think of what non-Microsoft agents would gain. If your computer got compromised, now a third party can see everything Recall logged. Could be completely mundane, could be private information, could be something worth blackmailing someone other.
Today I had to punch in my SSN and phone number to for my health insurance to confirm who I said I am. I don’t want anyone to know that who has no direct need to.
So if it is completely local, and everyone is opt-in by default, why would I want it in the first place? What does the end user gain? If I wanted my CPU hogged up for no reason, I’d start mining Bitcoin. If it was harmless, why is Microsoft not really commenting on it on the same way they do other things like Office, Teams, Xbox, etc.
It’s pretty clear most of you can’t be bothered to read past headlines.
Recall is local and they aren’t using your data for upstream training.
“RecAlL Is loCal TheY” not gonna try to find out and im not trusting for sht anyways until independant network traffic analysis

Just as dumb as the Alexa is spying on us crowd.
right 30 years of selling user data an enshittification and the home assistants from a companny that regularly pays fines for privacy infringement
Please point out a single instance where Microsoft was fined not using the data in the way described in the terms of service.

And then there are the cases where European institutions got sued for USING Microsoft products.
