Commenter on the Slashdot article AmiMoJo replied, &#8220;There might be a more benign reason for it. In GDPR countries, if you turn it off they will probably need to delete all the biometric data \u2026 if people toggle it too often, it&#8217;s going to consume a large amount of CPU time.&#8221; Regardless, the choice to make it opt-out rather than opt-in is sure to raise eyebrows among privacy advocates.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking with Slashdot, Microsoft chose not to explain the reasoning behind the rule, but said &#8220;OneDrive inherits privacy features and settings from Microsoft 365 and SharePoint, where applicable.&#8221; The same article included a quote from a security activist from the Electronic Frontier Foundation, Thorin Klosowski, who said: &#8220;Any feature related to privacy really should be opt-in and companies should provide clear documentation so its users can understand the risks and benefits to make that choice for themselves.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t definitively say why the setting was rolled out this way, but it&#8217;s hard not to feel like this is yet another surreptitious means for AI to corrode privacy standards and encroach where it&#8217;s not always welcome. In a vacuum, it&#8217;s thorny\u2014but paired with the nascent prominence of Copilot, LLM chatbots, Microsoft&#8217;s internal insistence on AI, and so on, it feels like another data point in a trend worthy of scrutiny.<\/p>\n<div class=\"product\"><a data-dimension112=\"62c7d512-7e02-42e7-82be-edacada71d3f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:400px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"Vji3V6i3HDWUHeQ22PrjFL\" name=\"New Project (8).jpg\" caption=\"\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/preview-users-have-noticed-onedrives-ai-driven-face-recognition-setting-is-opt-out-and-can-only-be-turned-off-three-times-a-year.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" credit=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/new-games-2025-upcoming-pc-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-dimension112=\"62c7d512-7e02-42e7-82be-edacada71d3f\" data-action=\"Deal Block\" data-label=\"2025 games\" data-dimension48=\"2025 games\" data-dimension25=\"\"><strong>2025 games<\/strong><\/a>: This year&#8217;s upcoming releases<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Our all-time favorites<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-50-best-free-pc-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Free PC games<\/strong><\/a>: Freebie fest<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-fps-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best FPS games<\/strong><\/a>: Finest gunplay<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-rpgs-of-all-time\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best RPGs<\/strong><\/a>: Grand adventures<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/the-best-co-op-games\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Best co-op games<\/strong><\/a>: Better together<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/software\/ai\/preview-users-have-noticed-onedrives-ai-driven-face-recognition-setting-is-opt-out-and-can-only-be-turned-off-three-times-a-year\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is AI the future, or just an ecologically ruinous, dangerously huge financial bubble?
