Microsoft recalls screenshot feature after outcry due to privacy concerns raised by the UK and EU. The feature, called Recall, was meant to store screenshots of desktop activity but raised concerns about the security of sensitive information, such as passwords, being captured and stored in plain text. Microsoft responded by making the feature opt-in instead of opt-out, allowing users to choose whether or not to use it. This incident highlights the importance of considering privacy and security safeguards before implementing new features.
