By Default, Signal Doesn't Recall

  Can browsers block recall recording as well?

  I’ll add that to every site manage

  Let recall literally record only black boxes, fuck Microsoft

    Given this reality, private messaging apps like Signal deserve to be treated with at least the same level of caution that’s afforded to a web browser’s private or incognito browsing window — which Microsoft has already excluded from Recall by default.

      I’d like it to be an HTTP header that will blacken the browser for recall. I don’t want recall to look at my banking website, just as an example.

      Hell, I don’t want Recall, period, but I mean, if I managed a banking site, I’d want to know that a million customers aren’t inadvertently feeding their private banking info to some shitty AI

    They can, but this wouldn’t be a website thing, it’d be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

    I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same “DRM for a good cause” approach Signal is using.

      It could be something that websites could then tell the browser using a header or meta tag

  I didn’t realize an app could do that. Won’t most apps just make it an option or enforce blocking recall?

    What Signal is doing is a workaround specifically used for DRM content. This feature is specifically so you can’t copy copyrighted content. I don’t think most apps would do this.

    According to Microsoft, Recall is opt in. I don’t fucking trust them though.

      I agree that they can’t be trusted. I’m getting a Mac this fall to switch away from windows.

      Sadly, my work can’t be done on Linux yet. I keep checking though. I’m really just waiting for a single app.

      So I guess it’ll probably block screenshots too?

      Opt in probably just means you can’t view the results of recall 🫠
