The entire point of recall is that it's running locally. That's why only a very very very small subset of all Windows 11 PCs support it. Only "copilot+" pc supports it which are PCs with very specific processors with AI processing. Most notably the new Snapdragon arm PCs.
You're incredibly naiive if you think MS isn't harvesting that data.
I think the EDPB would have a field day if that was the case.
Oh for sure, but EU is actually attempting to modernize their laws for the 21st century. Here in the US, you'd be lucky if there was any protection at all, especially with the absolute farce of an administration currently "running" the country (into the ground, that is).
