It’s not about ‘privacy’ or having anything to hide, it is about the fact that some company wants to take control of you and letting people own you. Recall is

Recall is essentially the same as recording what you can see with your own eyeballs and what you are thinking and doing when you are on your system.
In a couple of updates, Microsoft will likely be able to recall data on any screen anywhere… you make a call to your insurance company, Recall will know all of the same info that the insurance agent can see from their screen.
You visit your therapist, then after you leave they write up notes on their Windows computer with Recall then somehow your insurance rates go up the next month.
When I was a scoundrel hacker in the 2000’s (I am not proud of it), the first thing I’d do is install keyloggers and screen grabbers - and let me tell you, although I never did anything with the data I can tell you categorically that it would have been pretty bad for these people had I doxxed the content. These people were probably the same kinds of people who would argue your kind of point, but it’s only because they haven’t thought about it enough to fully realise the damage that can be done.
Now when hackers break into a system, they will be able to grab that recall. Partners will be able to do it. Trolls will be able to.
Just like the power trip I was on, Microsoft are also on a power trip, except they go all in and have the backing of the NSA. They do not care about your privacy, they just want control/power/dominance and money.
Doxxing is about to hit the big time with this. Soon enough, you’ll find more than just a celebs full recall on a the darkweb you’ll have your friends and family looking over your own recall history when it gets leaked from some other massive malware scam.
File cryptor ransomware will soon be called Recall ransomware.
I think you are a psychopath if you don’t think long and hard on moving away from Microsoft inmediately.
