Ask HN: How to avoid Windows Recall as a Linux user? If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft’s Windows Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security. What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text? |
True, but this is the beauty of trust. I decide to communicate one way or another with someone depending on the level of trust. Them deciding to break that trust is a risk I chose to take. However, I do not choose to communicate with Microsoft, whatsoever. Windows Recall is the most blatant piece of spyware ever; beyond comprehension how this is so normalized.
This isn't a new problem: it's a problem with gmail, too. You and I can avoid using it directly, but it may well be that the people we want to send emails to are using it.
