Re: privacy nightmare
logging every event you do and 'promise' that it stays local
The "if" it stays local is a biggie. But also, Microsoft management are clearly in techbro fantasy land "Everyone has their own, private device that only they use right?".
They're struggling to conceive of people who live a life different to their own, or who have threat models different to their own.
The BBC reports that the UK's Information Commissioner's Office is making inquiries (I'm sure they'll come down on MS with all the force of a warm snuggly duvet). Quoting Microsoft:
"a would-be hacker would need to gain physical access to your device, unlock it and sign in before they could access saved screenshots."
A would-be hacker or... a domestic abuser. Who can be reasonably sure of having full access to a device.
Oh no. Physical access and unlocking it? Inconceivable! (Obligatory XKCD).
