Right, but the problem is users should be able to use the feature and be confident it’s secure. It most assuredly is not as multiple people with access to the pilot program have demonstrated.
I bet some lower level folks within MS knew this would be an issue and screamed into the void about it.
Pretty straightforward systemic failure – Dev team, I would guess, assumed full disk encryption would cover it, and nobody checked the assumptions. Or to rephrase: it was fucking obviously encrypted dude.
The fact that it took people not involved with Microsoft to point out and initiate internal change should be everything anyone needs to know.
To be fair I think they mentioned a button to temporarily disable the spying. Either for a time or blacklist an entire application.
Still highly recommended people move away from windows.

You’re right, nobody should ever rely on external feedback for anything. 🙄
Not storing this shit unencrypted was pretty fucking obvious dude.
