This 'feature' means that someone in an abusive relationship now has a canonized part of the OS monitoring their activities that can be then invoked and studied by the abuser.

@munin Fortunately it's only on "Copilot Plus PCs" instead of just enabled for everyone without their awareness. The tinfoil hat side of me expects that we'll eventually see "lawful access" requests for that information and restrictions on tampering with it or turning it off.

@rabbit @munin As I translated @pluralistic 's DRM talk given at Microsoft oh so long ago I still remember it well. It includes: When his defense asked "Which computer has Jon trespassed upon?" the answer was: "His
own." https://craphound.com/msftdrm.txt Cory, you need to go to Microsoft and repeat the talk, they forgot it in these twenty years.
