Coming soon: Microsoft calls it auto-save to the cloud, which might sound convenient for Word users. Just be aware of what's in it for them -- feeding their "AI" database, among other things -- and think about potential consequences. techcommunity.microsoft.com/bl

As with recall, saving screen shots of web sites, this is another example of where Microsoft pose a serious safeguarding and privacy risk to children and young people.

If documents are saved to the cloud by default, this can have implications for owprivacy, confidentiality etc esp where information is legally required to be stored securely. If I understand things, a court case can fail due to the smallest thing. By failing it is the difference between gulity or not guilty based on the episodes.

You only need to look at the UK MOD,the Afghan refugees and the information 'leaked' where doing so can have serious consequences, if the taliban gain access they will target any people still in the country OR target their families still in the country and the way the taliban deal with them is hardly humane in some cases.

How long will it be before this information falls in to the wrong hands (or ai model) and ends up causing serious or deadly consequences.?
