back in my day we called this spyware

@molly0xfff No question this could be a violation of privacy. But that violation occurs only if the data is removed from the device. There are amazing potential scenarios with this data, with the very important caveat that it doesn't escape the machine. However I completely understand that people won't trust that this caveat holds. It's just unfortunate that we can't have a discussion of how much potential is indeed possible.

But knee jerk reactions will never allow this discussion to happen.

'Remove'? Reading is sufficient to copy. How it's exfiltrated is left as an exercise for the reader. Rsync would be my favourite, but hiding it in noise is fine.

I once had to point out to a corporate lawyer and a senior exec that if data hosted in Europe could be read on a screen in India then the data had been exported.

@TweekySenior @scottjenson

It still has to be explained.
And now a moment of silence whilst we contemplate MS Recall being sent over VDI and MS Recall on the client device capturing that every 5 seconds...
