the privacy implications are really no worse than people who have a web browser cache/history, use a password manager, and have their entire email/message history available for offline perusal on their computer/device. just like an attacker can go after the recall data, they can go after those well known sources of data as well, which are generally not encrypted. Which is why, for example, the changes signal made to prevent recall from working when it was visible, were pure virtue signalling. By default signal on the PC keeps all messages sent available in a db that any attacker can easily download. The entire criticism aimed at recall ignored all the other ways this data is stored on one's PC.
