“MICROSOFT HAS SIMPLY GIVEN US NO OTHER OPTION,” SIGNAL SAYS AS IT BLOCKS WINDOWS RECALL

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Signal is blocking Windows 11's Recall AI feature from screenshotting its app by default, using a DRM API intended for copyrighted content. Recall captures screenshots every three seconds, potentially exposing private conversations. Signal took this step because Microsoft does not provide proper developer tools to prevent apps from being indexed by Recall.
