Microsoft is making changes to its Recall feature on Copilot+ PCs in an attempt to resolve privacy concerns. The tool will be opt-in, so it won’t screenshot your activity without permission.
Making it opt-in is a much better way to offer this ridiculous "feature". But I wager there will be future shenanigans. MS is very sneaky and passive-aggressive about pushing sketchy unwanted shit on its customers.
Even if the controls were big and obvious, I wouldn't trust them. Microsoft's knowingly using dark patterns. It'll eventually justify using it to spy on those who didn't quite consent.
