Microsoft’s Recall: Your PC Is Secretly Snitching 24/7

Even the privacy champion Brave has jumped on the blockade bandwagon to protect users from surprise screenshots of private chats or credit card entries. Apparently, Microsoft thinks users want AI agents stalking their screens more than granular privacy controls—a strategy with developers saying, essentially, ‘Thanks but no screenshots.’
