>Windows Recall data mining surveillance screenshots

Some of you people are just too far gone to turn off a setting.



Turn on. It's off by default. But people on HN, reddit and twitter are too stupid.


> It's off by default.

For now. This is Microsoft we’re talking about. Needing a Microsoft account to log in to Windows used to be optional.


I’m reminded of a checkbox titled “Don’t ask me next time” when logging into Microsoft Online that I am given the option to check every single time I log in.

My lack of trust in Microsoft (or Google) to keep my interest in mind is rooted in experience.

The problem is: once your organisation is so corrupt that they think of this shit, turning off bad ideas becomes a game of whack-a-mole.

Just say no to this kind of behaviour.


We don't trust them to not turn it back on later...
