The worst thing about it is, even if you switch to Linux for privacy yourself, you'll also need your friends to switch as well, otherwise if you message them on their desktop, they're a liability, as the damn recall will be there too, leaking your data.
It'll be hell for activists.
Funnily enough, Signal gas circumvented the issue by marking their chat window as DRM content, making it invisible to Recall.
The same has been true of email for years, but less bad. Activists will need to be even more careful in who they trust.
