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!
And I’m concerned that being unequally concerned about these two things puts the focus back on how the person obtained the data, and takes it away from the most important issue which is whether the person has a right to private space of their own on their computer.
