Haha. Like whole internet forgot that beta builds of Win10 had exactly the same feature!

I remember this shit storm. There is a guy on YT who literally Wireshark-ed his router traffic and found that windows was sending screenshots every once in couple of minutes.

Cause there is no legislation against it.

Congress is full of dinosaurs and non-IT people who don’t know anything about IT, and the laws for privacy and such are old and don’t cover computers and software often. Plus companies keep lobbyists to make sure if something does try to happen, they shut it down.
