"We’re building a world where that curiosity gets lobotomized at the door."

I'm trying to map out time to go back and deep dive on Microsoft Recall and security implications and changes since last year.

Are there any current writeups on it? I'm trying to figure out what needs concentrating on - when I'm googling, I'm just finding my own blog.
