It's more about what Microsoft enforces—spyware—than what other people do.
I meant you can't stop then from using Recall.
Yes, and that's a valid concern, but there's no good answer here. That's why it's such a problem. From now on, one of the most widely used operating systems in the world is going to be harvesting data from any and everything that appears on it. Meaning any software you use to send any form of electronic communication, if a Windows computer opens it, and the user either hasn't bothered or doesn't know how to disable recall, your information has been harvested by Microsoft.
There's just no way to limit or avoid this. We need regulation.
