Everything about privacy (the confidentiality pillar of security) -- but not restricted to infosec. Offline privacy is also relevant here.

Remember Microsoft's Recall? The first implementation was never released and was met with strong criticism from privacy advocates and the infosec/security community. Guess what? Microsoft has doubled down, and its controversial Recall scraper is finally entering the public preview stage. If you care about privacy, please think twice before using this on your AI-enabled PCs (Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs) https://blogs.windows.com/windows-insider/2024/11/22/previewing-recall-with-click-to-do-on-copilot-pcs-with-windows-insiders-in-the-dev-channel/

@nixCraft@mastodon.social @trantion@masto.ai yes that's the trick. If it can do something dangerous, it IS dangerous, even if disabled or carefully tweaked. My second point is: everytime we tolerate a new feature, we allow it to become something ordinary. It's not a problem if something simply useless becomes the norm. It is a problem if it's not just useless but dangerous. That's what happened with food delivery.
