    While initially all the screenshots will be stored locally (where people who own your computer through malware can access it), the time will come where Microsoft will deem it “necessary” to store them online, “for safety reasons”. Then the race is open: Will they fall prey to hackers and data leaks before they can happily exploit the data themselves?

          Shit should be barebones by default. Features should always be opt in.
