If company has your keys obviously they'll hand 'em to the cops. A better headline would be "Check your Bitlocker settings. You might be giving access to Microsoft and, by proxy, the FBI"

Microsoft can give the cops an answer if they ask about me. No active windows usage known since the beginning of 2025.

I have 5 computers in the house. None of the run the Microslop anymore.

Didn't Amazon and Google say they were giving your front door camera video to ice too

Not like they have a choice. The real problem is they have something to give them.
