Microsoft does not Recall automatically

Looks like Microsoft will make Recall opt-in. Seemingly they needed user feedback to figure out that people might not like the idea of them taking a screenshots of their screens every 5 seconds or so.

Security experts also pointed out that this would be a security nightmare. Pretty obvious, really.

This is another example why it is clear Big Tech is not to be trusted to make the right decisions, even when they are staring them in the face.

Desperate to not loose out, they are moving quickly to not be left behind, running blindly ahead without thinking of the consequences.

Microsoft is making its controversial AI-powered Recall feature optional. The changes come after security experts warned the feature could be a disaster for cybersecurity.
