I would not be surprised to see MS eventually abandon this whole idea.
Remember when Apple was going to scan everyone's photos for kiddie porn?
 A noble idea to be sure, but an incredibly invasive thing to do. After
a huge backlash, Apple backed down.

 
That would have been a fiasco. I've been told otherwise normal parents
sometimes take photos of their offspring that could be construed as kiddie
port if you're into naked two year olds.

Yep. The classic "naked on a rug on the floor" photo would be seen as kiddie
porn. To this day I can't believe Apple thought that was a good idea.

And today, I also can't believe that (1) "Windows Recall" was originally going
to be enabled by default and (2) the data was originally not going to be
encrypted and (3) originally any user on the PC could access it and (4) MS
originally thought 1, 2 and 3 were OK.

That is, until the tech press started screaming about 1, 2 and 3.
