If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft’s Windoze Recall. Either I’m missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

    Turn off your computer, move to a cave in the mountains, and abandon society.

    A bit extreme but there is nothing you can do to stop your messages from appearing on Windows machines except not sending them to anyone who might view them on Windows machines…which will definitely be nearly impossible in 2024

      Works great until some hikers take a photo with you in the background, that gets backed up to iCloud, then they want to show the photo to a friend, download it to their computer, open it and BOOM, Microsoft AI knows your face
