If it leaves your device, you cannot control it.
Right but you could at least be reasonably sure it wouldn't be outright spied on from the person you're sending it to. Now it's almost a guarantee.
Like if I sent something to a friend of mine, I could be fairly certain it wouldn't end up in the wrong hands unless they got compromised or did something stupid. I could trust their competence.
Now everyone that isn't actively managing their own windows installation is absolutely compromised, as a rule. Like I can't just send an email to my mom anymore, from now on its always my Mom and Copilot.
