no it isnt the same, you may know I went to my health care provider's website, maybe even to make an appointment depending on the url, but with recall, everything that is on the page will be stored, not just the url. It's totally different. So the message I sent my healthcare provider that is discussing some of my most sensitive medical issues will be available to read and a record is kept of it... not just the url. Do you not see the difference?

Don't worry it's ok if you don't want to use Recall, someone will just get that information by hacking your provider anyways.
Yes, but one product cycle and there's metadata (like a background texture) that tells the OCR to skip this page. Or ask your local LLM if the user is talking about medical conditions? If you like the feature at all you can make these things work.
"If you like the feature at all you can make these things work."

It's not on the individual users to take steps to preserve their basic human dignity. It's not Microsoft to not take that dignity away by default as was their plan before this fiasco predictably blew up in their faces just like the Xbox One always-online Kinect requirement before it.
