If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windoze Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

You must start spreading libre software effectively. You don't control their device. You must show them how to fix it.

Last year I did so by writing the essay “What if I paid for all my free software?” It came across well. Now I'm thinking of ways to reach a broader audience in order to not only be preaching to the choir.

I would focus on those directly around you first (not online strangers) and showing them by example to do the same, like my last post. Rather than telling them, find ways to make them want to ask you themselves. Make them start the conversation.
