- nozzlegear 2y agoSo still relevant to, at a minimum, almost 350 million people? More likely it will actually work out to (total world population - amount of people covered by GDPR or the very few existing laws like it). Like I get that the EU has a cool privacy law but sitting in your ivory tower chortling at the dumb Americans doesn’t negate the fact that Microsoft is building this giant invasion of privacy in the first place.
- kirth_gersen 2y agoNot entirely sure that Recall won't essentially sidestep most of the protections of the EU privacy laws by touting that the data is stored locally and so it is "yours". Never mind that this basically provides a huge incentive for bad actors to get "your" data however they can. Microsoft will have done all the work of gathering it for them in one easy target.
