On LinkedIn someone in my network pointed out that, apart from the security and privacy disaster, the name Recall was a bad choice because of negative events like product recall.

- permo-w 2y agothis is one of the first things mentioned in the article
- jonny_eh 2y ago"Total Recall", aka "We Can Remember It For You Wholesale"
- dylan604 2y ago"Total Recall" in quotes makes me think you're trying to get your ass back to Mars and that you're trying to remember something because you had your memories wiped. It makes me think of nothing about a friendly service being offered forcefully upon you from your friendly and malevolent OS provider.

- bee_rider 2y agoIt would actually be a fantastic name if this were a real concern. Imagine, a well-known feature to mask any searches of a product recall.
