Would you feel the same if Microsoft turned on Recall on all Windows PCs everywhere with an update?
They worked very hard on security these past few months, so it should be all good, right?

That is not the point at all and you either didn’t try to understand one iota of it or are outright arguing in bad faith.
I am not claiming for one moment that enabling this by default is OK. In fact, I have explicitly said it is not.
What I am saying is that it is ignorant to call this a cover up, because a cover up requires subterfuge. This feature has a freaking settings toggle and public documentation. Calling it a cover up is the type of uneducated rhetoric that makes these issues being brushed off by those in power as “it’s just a bunch of loonies conspiracy theorists complaining”.
Got it, so if Windows Defender (that is enabled by default on all Windows PCs) pushes an update that scans all your files on all connected drives and uploads hashes to the mothership, enables this by default and proceeds to execute the scan and upload immediately after update, but also includes a setting that lets you turn it off when you find out about its existence from some 3rd party article, that is all perfectly fine? (since there is no subterfuge)
> Got it
Clearly you have not. If you did, you wouldn’t continue to give an example which is not equivalent.
No, it would not be “perfectly fine”, I just said it wouldn’t. You can do something wrong without it being a cover up.
