Recall uses AI features "to take images of your active screen every few seconds."

I think every computer user needs to read this because holy fucking shit this is fucking horrible.

So Windows has a new feature incoming called Recall where your computer will first, monitor everything you do with screenshots every couple of seconds and "process that" with an AI.

Hey, errrr, fuck no? This isn't merely because AI is really energy intensive to the point that it causes environmental damage. This is because it's basically surveilling what you are doing on your fucking desktop.

This AI is not going to be on your desktop, like all AI, it's going to be done on another server, "in the cloud" to be precise, so all those data and screenshot? They're going to go off to Microsoft. Microsoft are going to be monitoring what you do on your own computer.

Now of course Microsoft are going to be all "oooh, it's okay, we'll keep your data safe". They won't. Let me just remind you that evidence given over from Facebook has been used to prosecute a mother and daughter for an "illegal abortion", Microsoft will likely do the same.

And before someone goes "durrr, nuthin' to fear, nuthin to hide", let me remind you that you can be doing completely legal and righteous acts and still have the police on your arse. Are you an activist? Don't even need to be a hackivist, you can just be very vocal about something concerning and have the fucking police on your arse. They did this with environmental protesters in the UK. The culture war against transgender people looks likely to be heading in a direction wherein people looking for information on transgender people or help transitioning will be tracked down too. You have plenty to hide from the government, including your opinions and ideas.

Again, look into backing up your shit and switching to Linux Mint or Ubuntu to get away from Microsoft doing this shit.

I just found out about something called the Take it Down act which would require platforms to take down so called nonconsensually distributed intimate imagery (NDII) within 48 hours of being reported. The problem is that there are no “safeguards to prevent false reporting being used to remove protected and already often censored speech, like sex education, reproductive healthcare resources, or just talking about LGBTQ communities online. Sex workers would be particularly at risk of having their content flagged and removed through false reports.” I personally feel that this might actually be the point of it given the support Trump is throwing behind it. It also makes no exception for encrypted private messages. This means companies would be required to abandon end-to-end encryption so they can read and moderate your DMs. It has already passed in the Senate, but it has not become law yet, we can still stop it.
