I heard Windows 11 has been updated to take screenshots of your computer. Is it theoretically possible for them to delete content from your PC or external hard drives if they can determine that you have pirated content on them? Can they theoretically report you for it? I know it’s unlikely but is it still possible? I’m thinking of switching to Linux and this may be the reason why.
Edit: Thank you all for your educated answers. I really appreciate y’all!
I could have sworn I read something about Windows 10 was already found deleting copyrighted material, maybe it was a fever dream.
I’m on Windows 10 and it hasn’t deleted anything I’ve pirated.
If this was true, my entire music collection, emulated games, the ebooks .etc would be all gone by now and I’d have nothing.
But yet, they remain.
