I’ll wait until they demonstrably prioritize security. Corporations will say literally anything to avoid negative PR.

Edit:

But also, this isn’t actually about Recall:

Microsoft is pivoting its company culture to make security a top priority, President Brad Smith testified to Congress on Thursday, promising that security will be “more important even than the company’s work on artificial intelligence.”

Satya Nadella, Microsoft’s CEO, “has taken on the responsibility personally to serve as the senior executive with overall accountability for Microsoft’s security,” Smith told Congress.

His testimony comes after Microsoft admitted that it could have taken steps to prevent two aggressive nation-state cyberattacks from China and Russia.

According to Microsoft whistleblower Andrew Harris, Microsoft spent years ignoring a vulnerability while he proposed fixes to the “security nightmare.” Instead, Microsoft feared it might lose its government contract by warning about the bug and allegedly downplayed the problem, choosing profits over security, ProPublica reported.

Holy fuck. This is like National Security level shit. As in, potentially dire implications on supposedly-secure SCI-related systems. There will probably be Very Fucking Serious criminal charges of the type that you can’t rub money on to get out of.

Say it with me now: this is what happens when you let the business and finance idiots run the show.
