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.

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