      What Signal is doing is a workaround specifically used for DRM content. This feature is specifically so you can’t copy copyrighted content. I don’t think most apps would do this.

      According to Microsoft, Recall is opt in. I don’t fucking trust them though.

    Can browsers block recall recording as well?

    I’ll add that to every site manage

    Let recall literally record only black boxes, fuck Microsoft

      Given this reality, private messaging apps like Signal deserve to be treated with at least the same level of caution that’s afforded to a web browser’s private or incognito browsing window — which Microsoft has already excluded from Recall by default.

      They can, but this wouldn’t be a website thing, it’d be the whole browser. Not a bad thin, IMO, Recall is cancer that no one but Microsoft board members & investors are asking for.

      I predict privacy-preserving browsers like Librewolf, Waterfox, etc. potentially deploying the same “DRM for a good cause” approach Signal is using.
