Similarly, it won't be enough for Microsoft to claim the data their "AI" surveillance features collect is kept local. Based on how they behaved with Win10, you have to assume Microsoft will eventually silently turn a local query into a network query without telling you. And even local storage can be accessed by malware, employers, or family members.

There is only one way, *only* one way, to prevent data being leaked or misused, and that is to not collect it ( see: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/112475323390645896 ).
