The data is still being recorded and saved. For example, it could make my security weaker by recording a password briefly displayed on screen. Now there's a second copy stored elsewhere on my computer than the password manager.

Also, that only mentions the snapshots (the images) themselves. It feels like its leaving them an out for data pulled from the pictures or summaries of locally processed data.



I do not disagree with your sentiment - I am just pointing out that a lot of articles are misrepresenting some important aspects of the discussion


Fair. It's important to have the facts straight.


Yeah I have no doubt they would use the data gleaned from the images. All the data generated from processing the screenshots to be useful to the user would be just as useful to third parties. More useful than the screenshots themselves, in fact. I haven't heard anything about promises to keep the extracted information locally.
