Microsoft was bad today as well. Or have we forgotten windows 11 sending screenshots?

  You mean Microsoft Recall? That never sent screenshots anywhere.

    How do you know? It's closed source. And they're in an "AI" race where every competitor ignores IP law and privacy.

      How it worked was well documented last year. It was taking screenshots and storing them locally - the (justified) anger about it was that anyone with physical access to your machine (eg an abusive spouse) could see what you had been doing, and it was to be turned on by default.

          > By trustable 3rd parties? Yes, that thing was hacked to pieces by privacy researchers. I haven't been following updates on Recall since June last year: https://simonwillison.net/tags/recall/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/recall/
