    They said they wouldn’t put ads in your start menu, which turned out to be a lie. They said they wouldn’t use Recall after initial backlash, this turned out to be a lie. They claimed that Recall would filter out sensitive information which once again turned out to be a lie.

    Now they’re saying that they won’t send your screenshots to their servers, I’ll let you figure out how credible that sounds to us by now…

    They wouldn’t be pushing so hard for that “feature” if they didn’t plan to profit from it in some way. AI training and user profiling are definitely very easy ways to make money off of those screenshots.
