When I read this, I’m glad I ain’t using windows anymore.

If it was turned off by default, it would be different as people would be consciously choosing. But turned on by default should be illegal.

As some people are saying, a lot of this isn’t gonna be legal in some countries.

Just for people that haven't searched it yet:

During setup of your new Copilot+ PC, and for each new user, you're informed about Recall and given the option to manage your Recall and snapshots preferences. If selected, Recall settings will open where you can stop saving snapshots, add filters, or further customize your experience before continuing to use Windows 11. If you continue with the default selections, saving snapshots will be turned on.

It sounds like YOU need to TURN IT OFF
