Tabletop scenario for you:
Employee gets into a dispute with employer, leaves, had sensitive role. Employer revokes access, devices etc. Employee had logged in via BYOD to email, IM etc.
Due to Recall, employee walks away with 6 months of screenshots of everything she's ever worked on in a text indexed form - every email, chat, document, Teams call with video snapshots, transcripts of verbal calls etc - even if they set M365 to not store documents locally.
What does the employer do now?

Signal have rolled out an update to all users that stops Microsoft Recall from capturing Signal conversations.
I’ve tested this and it works. Brilliant work by the @signalapp team. 💪
They call on Microsoft to build better, as there was no standardised way as an app developer to do this. Because Signal is open source, now app developers have a template to protect their users from Windows.

I found an interesting Microsoft Recall issue with the latest version - Recall is enabled on my PC, but the tray icon (bottom right) saying it is running is missing.
Edit: after a reboot, it's back. I'll keep an eye on it. After the latest Windows Update the UI wasn't visible, but it was still recording.
