Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission
Microsoft quietly changed how folder backup works in the OneDrive app on Windows 11. Now, the OS enables it by default during the initial setup without asking the user for permission.

If Recall went through, so much for "it's all localized and offline."
I understand its (currently) not happening, but if Microsoft was able to deflect the criticism long enough, and since no company makes a change like this overnight (The time to approve of the privacy policies, shifting of storage for it, the increased traffic on their servers needing to be accommodated), can you imagine just having it still installed and enabled by default?
It'll happen. Microsoft is just waiting to see how much backlash they get, then in a future version its all gonna be enabled by default. "Because people want it! Its the best!"
