In December, an investigation by Tom's Hardware found that Recall frequently captured sensitive information in its screenshots, including credit card numbers and Social Security numbers — even though its "filter sensitive information" setting was supposed to prevent that from happening.

Its not just about us using Linux though - it's also users on the other end that were interacting with. If I handle sensitive information, use encryption and disappearing messages and what have you, that doesn't mean squat if I have to send some sensitive information to someone using insecure email and Recall. Microsoft, Google and whatever other gods awful privacy invading service and companies the person on the other end now have that data.

And a lot of people just don't even think about this stuff. They could be the type of person who will promise yo keep your secrets or sensitive stuff and actually do that, but keeping that away from privacy invading companies isn't even on their radar.
