Excerpts. I certainly do not plan to enable this, as I manually save many things. That MS would offer this before it was secure is itself alarming. However,

The company has since added new security features, including encrypting snapshots using a PC's Trust Platform Module and using Windows Hello for authorization to change settings. You can also filter out certain apps or websites in supported browsers, control how long Recall content is retained, and delete snapshots from specific apps, websites, or time ranges.- https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/microsoft-launches-recall-to-windows-11-general-availability-click-to-do-and-improved-search-also-coming

Thank God for tools to be used for good in God's sight in Christ

Microsoft is also are putting ads in many of their applications, and in the operating system too.

It’s not surprising many Windows using are switching to Linux. If your hardware is old, and you can’t run Windows 11, this is definitely an option.

Additionally, Microsoft assures users that Recall does not upload any data it captures to the cloud.

Interesting phrasing. Not "Recall does not upload any data it captures". Just not"to the cloud". Could Microsoft upload it to some of their servers, but just not to ones that are generally accessible? Maybe to run AI on the images to see which ads you would "enjoy"? Or to the NSA? See, that's not "the Cloud". I also didn't see anywhere in that list of controls in Recall the option to not do it at all and save nothing. Not merely having some apps turned off or some webpages turned off. Save nothing! If I want a screenshot I can hit print screen and save the image myself.

I don’t think you can opt out since they anticipated that people would want to after the big backlash and integrated into the OS so it was essential and couldn’t be. No reason for that if it’s truly a nice tool for the users , the only reason for that is it’s a nice too for microsoft to get the users data.

captures everything you do on your PC via snapshots, and stores them securely on your PC.

I can see vast swaths of the corporate/government user base not trusting this to the point that they demand having it removed entirely.
