## Summary

Microsoft's Recall feature for Windows uses AI to take screenshots every few seconds and store and analyze them, which the article calls mass surveillance. The article says Microsoft markets the feature as giving Windows a "photographic memory" that stores everything a user has worked on and done. It also says the controls cannot stop the feature from capturing passwords and financial account numbers, and that Elon Musk tweeted he would "turn off" the feature, a claim the article doubts. The article urges users to switch to Linux and promotes the paid services of Simplified Privacy.

Screenshotting everything you do

Mass Surveillance

Recall

Microsoft has unveiled their new mass surveillance tool, by revealing AI baked into Windows and the hardware itself that will take screenshots every few seconds and store and analyze this with AI. They are nicknaming this “Recall” and marketing it as Windows having photographic memory. It stores everything you’ve worked on and done to “know about you” or “better serve you”.

Elon Musk

Even MSN, which is normally a propaganda outlet for the regime, prominently displays criticism of Elon Musk likening it to the fictional dystopia Black Mirror. [1] Although Elon Musk tweets he will “turn off” the feature, who knows if he really can. Because this AI is closed source, and therefore requires blind and complete trust and obedience from the user in Microsoft to not abuse the entire sum of their life’s knowledge.

Financial Accounts

Even the admitted control settings for this are horrible, with the inability to stop it from capturing all passwords and financial account numbers. [2] And not to mention, this will be a field day for hackers, as Windows machines are typically the easiest and most vulnerable to be targeted with randsomware. Anonymous hacker “Fya” said quote “Haha! These worthless clowns handed me the ultimate tool to extract and abuse victims data.”
