For those who aren’t aware, Microsoft have decided to bake essentially an infostealer into base Windows OS and enable by default.
From the Microsoft FAQ: “Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."
Info is stored locally - but rather than something like Redline stealing your local browser password vault, now they can just steal the last 3 months of everything you’ve typed and viewed in one database.
Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

Lets say, I have a Teams call with someone who uses Windows, and has Windows Recall enabled. Am I going to be recorded by it on the other end? Am I going to be warned about this feature being on? Can I opt out? How does it affect my privacy? Is this in any way legal in the EU? What happens with calls between US and EU? Which legislation applies?
#EU#Poland#Surveillance#Privacy: "The case Pietrzak and Bychawska-Siniarska and Others v. Poland (applications nos. 72038/17 and 25237/18) concerned a complaint by five Polish nationals about Polish legislation authorising a secret-surveillance regime covering both operational control and the retention of telecommunications, postal and digital communications data (“communications data”) for possible future use by the relevant national authorities. In particular, they alleged that there was no remedy available under domestic law allowing persons who believed that they had been subjected to secret surveillance to complain about that fact and to have its lawfulness reviewed.
In today’s Chamber judgment in this case the European Court of Human Rights held, unanimously, that there had been three violations of Article 8 (right to respect for private and family life and correspondence) of the European Convention on Human Rights in respect of the complaints concerning the operational-control regime, the retention of communications data for potential use by the relevant national authorities, and the secret-surveillance regime under the Anti-Terrorism Act.
Given the secret nature and wide scope of the measures provided for by the Polish legislation and the lack of effective review by which persons who believed that they had been subjected to surveillance could challenge this alleged surveillance, the Court found it appropriate to examine the legislation at issue in abstracto. It considered that the applicants could claim to be the victims of a violation of the Convention, and that the mere existence of the relevant legislation constituted in
itself an interference with their Article 8 rights.
The Court then held that all the shortcomings identified by it in the operational-control regime led to a conclusion that the national legislation did not provide sufficient safeguards against excessive recourse to surveillance..."

La #France a fait parti des pays les plus restrictifs des #libertés_individuelles pendant le #covid, allant jusqu'à interdire l'accès aux plages et aux forêts, et demander une auto-declaration écrite pour sortir.
Selon le ministère de l'intérieur, 21 millions de contrôles ont été faits en 🇫🇷 pendant les 2 mois de #confinement 2020. Une enquête du @cnrs sur 16 000 personnes estime que 28% des gens y ont été contrôlé par les forces de l'ordre au moins 1 fois
"Dans des départements comme la #Sarthe ou le #Lot, #police et gendarmerie ont réalisé autant de contrôles qu’il y avait d’habitants adultes"
While F-Droid appears to be "just" an alternative #OpenSource#AppStore for #Android, it is actually the apex of a lifestyle movement that's choosing to use Android only with #FreeSoftware and without #Google or advertising-related #surveillance. Realising that makes many of its features - and shortcomings - easier to understand. I was the main interviewer in the discussion this week on #FLOSS Weekly with core @fdroidorg developer @eighthave and it was a good show.
#Amnesty nous partage une petite vidéo en forme de #dystopie (ou pas ? En fait, non, pas vraiment...) au sujet de la généralisation de la #VidéoSurveillance.

I believe #Microsoft knew that #recall would generate this kind of backlash. They just don't care, they're testing limits of what they can get away with ... After all #google and #facebook got away (mostly) with what they're doing. It's the slow boiling frog method ... and people are gullible enough to buy whatever BS big tech marketing is selling ...
