Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.

Although not the exact topic covered in the article, as you wouldn't necessarily be sending sensitive information like that to other people, but it's important to note that this means nothing you've sent before is safe.

It's not enough that from "now on" you don't send anything you wouldn't want Recall to capture, if you've already sent it and someone with Recall captures it then it's compromised. It's not just your own device that you need to worry about, it's also everyone you might contact or have ever contacted.
