The Meeting
It was an unprecedented meeting. SPECTRE, THRUSH, KAOS, Soylent,
Tyrell, Omni, and at least a hundred more -- the list of organizations
and firms in attendance seemed nearly endless.
There was but one topic on the agenda. A proposal by their newest
member -- Microsoft -- to embed a super power spy system into every
Windows users' PC.
"We call it Windows Recall. We enable it by default, and every five
seconds it takes a screenshot of what the user is doing, and keeps it
for months or years!"
"Won't people use that to copy movies?"
"Oh no, that we'll block!"
"Very wise."
The discussions went on for hours, reviewing the many ways that such a
system could be used for evil by various authorities, governments,
politicians, ransomware criminals, and many more.
The time came for the vote.
To the shock of Microsoft's representative, their plan was voted down
unanimously.
"But why?" he protested. We thought you of all people would embrace
this system!"
In unison they shook their heads.
"Sorry, Satya. You're just too evil for us."
