If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft’s Windoze 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?

      I’m afraid this comment shows a severe underestimation of the gravity of this issue. Windows recall doesn’t stop at borders even if it were illegal there.

        Well, it’s not here yet. And I do use windows 11, as does my mom, my grandparents and other pc’s I’m the one helping with. I don’t recall any recalls :p

        And if they do push it here, it’s probably followed by a news headline “eu fined Microsoft 10 billion for gdpr violation” or something like that

          EU fines take way longer then that, give it a couple years of data collection and if we’re lucky they get fined
