This Recall thing is a prime example of how bad we are at understanding when something is a systemic problem.
It doesn't matter if *you* disable it. It doesn't matter if *you* install Linux. It doesn't matter if *you* set your computer on fire and move to a Luddite commune.
If you have *ever* sent sensitive data, no matter how securely, to another person who now has this shit enabled, and they find your data and look at it, your data is compromised, and there's nothing you can do about it.

Hopefully this makes people think of #Windows as a pandemic biohazard. Quarantine those exposed or infected. It's the only choice if you are not yet infected yourself.

@hobs @confluency @itgrrl The problem is the stuff I really want protected -- such as gov't records, medical records, and bank stuff -- is entirely on Windows no matter what I personally do
@sidereal @hobs @confluency @itgrrl compared to being in Capita hands, windows recall is dead safe!
@Thebratdragon @sidereal @hobs @confluency @itgrrl omfg. Capita and Atos need to have years of mandatory training to learn empathy and then never have ANY control over vulnerable people ever again. Lifetime ban if they ever worked as DWP contractors. Yes, even the 'good' ones.
