Microsoft’s Recall feature uses AI to capture and store user data. While it can be useful, it also poses a significant privacy risk. Here's what AdGuard is doing about it.
if you send plaintext, their email service could spy on them
once they decrypt, they could accidentally reply with the decryped text, or it could get backed up if they store a copy somewhere
screen readers could store decrypted email
In general, if you don’t trust the receiver, you shouldn’t send sensitive information. Windows Recall doesn’t change that, if they’re competent, Windows Recall won’t be enabled.
I think this is more an issue for less technical users instead of activists, because activists will be more careful about who they trust than a secretary or something for a powerful individual.
