Microsoft makes three critical changes to Windows Recall after facing backlash

[Redaktion]

Windows Recall is a new feature for the Copilot Plus PCs that lets you search across timelines and find anything you've seen on the computer. However, after its introduction, Microsoft faced a massive backlash, most of it related to privacy. The company has now made three key changes to address the concerns.

"First of all, Windows 11 users will have full control over whether it will be enabled on their PC or not.

Even when the users don't choose any option during the setup, Recall will stay turned off by default."

Ausnahmsweise wie bei Apple ist das Gleiche bei Microsoft sehr gut und konform zur Europäischen Datenschutzgrundverordnung usw.

Was bleibt ist die Frage nach dem SSD-Füllen. Wird man die Speichernutzung von Recall wie bei Papierkorb oder Wiederherstellungspunkten prozentual begrenzen können? Andernfalls könnte man als Nutzer zu wenig Speicher haben und altern Datenträger zu schnell.

Sounds nice and all but we all know Microsoft will change your settings without informing you via updates. Whatever policy they have right now can and probably will change later on.

they just want to cool down the backlash, then they will change their policy step by step to enforce it on everyone. This is the same strategy they have been using from long time now
this is a company that makes profit by selling user data, it's not a software company anymore.

Nice try, but their real intentions have been revealed.

That exactly.
