This is nothing.

An abusive spouse will easily switch it to on. It's very likely Windows will downright push you to do so anyways.

How does Microsoft intend to mitigate that harm?

Because AirTags worked out just fine:

> AirTags have been a tool for stalkers and domestic abusers since Apple launched them in 2021. Police records show that this is a problem, and the legal system has failed women who were targeted by stalkers using AirTags. There have been several instances where AirTag stalking has turned violent, and in at least two cases, resulted in the tracker murdering their target.

How many women will beaten and murdered because of Recall? Why is it that Microsoft reacts to software security concerns but not to the concerns of women?
