But, by default, BitLocker recovery keys are uploaded to Microsoft’s cloud, allowing the tech giant — and by extension law enforcement — to access them and use them to decrypt drives encrypted with BitLocker, as with the case reported by Forbes.

I mean it's dumb to sync but at same time it's not like MS isn't great at either making it almost impossible to not sync it re-enable syncing for a bit after updates.

You can constantly tell it not to sync but all it takes is MS saying we want it now and they'll get it
