it is absolutely insane that we're forced to DRM our own applications to protect ourselves from our own computers
15 years ago, DRM was all about the DVD restricting where and when it could be played. Now it seems like we're using DRM to reassert our own rights?

Party A sends information to party B intended for use in a specific context, but wants to limit the risk of it being stored or forwarded for use by other parties or in other contexts.
DRM typically connotes that party A is a media company and the information is a movie or something, but - as in the case the article is about - party A could also just be a regular person and the information could be private personal info.

It's a classic "hack" of the system!

Windows Recall would be a pretty good feature if it somehow only worked for real personal computers.
