Local and optional. Most small and mid sized businesses won't have concerns more than any locally cached session and Enterprise MS is well trusted with company data IMO. There will be plenty of on-premises folks who continue when this path but this isn't as big as a concern as privacy folks are making it out to be. Copilot already has strong restrictions on what data is used for training for customers and what gets sent back to update Microsofts model (none of it).
It's a locally proccesed model that doesn't contribute to MS's learning in any way. One of the more responsible approaches IMO.
Recall is local
Even then, do you know how many companies use Microsoft for everything including their most confidential data?You live in a foss bubble if you believe regular people/companies don't trust Microsoft to reasonable degree.
Ignoring that you have ignored both the article and my comment pointing out it's local...
The millions of businesses that use M365 + Windows says otherwise. And yes, MS has plenty of customer data within the EU. There are additional restrictions on reporting and deletion, but the EU azure cloud has petabytes (at least) worth of data and it all complies with GDPR as well as public sector tenants in all regions.

How?
How does that violate GDPR?
Again, how does that violate GDPR?
Are you saying every screenshot tool violates GDPR?
So let's assume it isn't opt-in (it probably is though) -- you've still yet to explain how an application taking screenshots, even without your knowledge, violates GDPR.
You just keep saying that it does. Prove it.
Prove it.
It is absolutely not the same thing.
What data are they collecting?
I'm not debating that. I'm asking you what data they are collecting
Source that Microsoft is collecting screenshots using this tool?
So is the issue that you just don't know what "local" means?
Not ones that a company can use to collect data.
What you are saying is just ridiculous.
Neither of which are possible unless they can get that data, bro
How do they collect that data if it stays local?
You are making a fool of yourself.
Huh? Of course it's not for no reason...
We're talking about whether taking and storing screenshots locally constitutes a GDPR violation. Which it doesn't.
The GDPR does not apply to taking, storing, and processing screenshots locally.
"Probably" = you have no idea what you're talking about.
So we agree that you were wrong about Microsoft violating the GDPR with this software, then.
True or false: You claimed that this software, which takes, stores, and processes screenshots locally, constitutes a violation of the GDPR.
So your claim is that any software that processes any data entirely locally on a users machine is violating the GDPR?
Source that it doesn't have consent?
So no source.
What a surprise.
Please quote the part that illustrates where Recall gets activated without user consent.
Literally all of those are nullified so long as the setup includes a compliant consent check. Which you literally cannot know whether it does or does not. Because the software isn't released yet.
That one article Liam wrote about a piece of software that hasn't been released yet? Well, case closed!
So your claim may be true. Well isn't that a side-step from your initial assertion.
Again, color me shocked.
Well no, actually you're specifically making assumptions based on what's not laid out in the article (which is, again, written by Liam, who's a nice guy, but by no means an authority). Big difference.
The article doesn't specify that Bill Gates won't personally come to your house and strangle you if you use Recall. Should we assume that he will?
Cool, not relevant to whether or not your claim is true or false.
Can't defend your claim? Just block the other person and call them a troll!
Great look, bro. I'm sure that attitude will get you far.
Edit: LMAO the instant downvote proves that you don't even have the conviction to block me. Sad.
"Everything I don't like is a GDPR violation" lol
