Local and optional. Most small and mid sized businesses won't have concerns more than any locally cached session and Enterprise MS is well trusted with company data IMO. There will be plenty of on-premises folks who continue when this path but this isn't as big as a concern as privacy folks are making it out to be. Copilot already has strong restrictions on what data is used for training for customers and what gets sent back to update Microsofts model (none of it).
It's a locally proccesed model that doesn't contribute to MS's learning in any way. One of the more responsible approaches IMO.

Recall is local
Even then, do you know how many companies use Microsoft for everything including their most confidential data?You live in a foss bubble if you believe regular people/companies don't trust Microsoft to reasonable degree.
Ignoring that you have ignored both the article and my comment pointing out it's local...
The millions of businesses that use M365 + Windows says otherwise. And yes, MS has plenty of customer data within the EU. There are additional restrictions on reporting and deletion, but the EU azure cloud has petabytes (at least) worth of data and it all complies with GDPR as well as public sector tenants in all regions.

this isn't a literal keylogger, do you know what a literal keylogger is?
GDPR Violation
How?
[deleted]
How does that violate GDPR?
[deleted]
Again, how does that violate GDPR?
Are you saying every screenshot tool violates GDPR?
[deleted]
So let's assume it isn't opt-in (it probably is though) -- you've still yet to explain how an application taking screenshots, even without your knowledge, violates GDPR.
You just keep saying that it does. Prove it.
[deleted]
The taking of screenshots is the privacy violation.
Prove it.
its the same thing as permanently recording you, wich is illegal.
It is absolutely not the same thing.
Ots collection of data and as such falls under the strict laws around GDPR.
What data are they collecting?
[deleted]
I'm not debating that. I'm asking you what data they are collecting
[deleted]
Source that Microsoft is collecting screenshots using this tool?
[deleted]
So is the issue that you just don't know what "local" means?
[deleted]
Not ones that a company can use to collect data.
What you are saying is just ridiculous.
[deleted]
getting and processing data
Neither of which are possible unless they can get that data, bro
[deleted]
When they collect that data
How do they collect that data if it stays local?
You are making a fool of yourself.
[deleted]
Huh? Of course it's not for no reason...
We're talking about whether taking and storing screenshots locally constitutes a GDPR violation. Which it doesn't.
[deleted]
The GDPR does not apply to taking, storing, and processing screenshots locally.
not just the part about the Screenshots being made and locally stored (although that probably would violate other laws)
"Probably" = you have no idea what you're talking about.

I’m just sitting here having fun eating popcorn reading the other comment thread on this post.
TL;DR, Mikufan got big mad, called me a troll, and blocked me.
Yeah I had adulting to do, so I couldn't keep up with it. Thanks for the TLDR and the fun times!
