Microsoft will assist the FBI in unlocking your Windows PC data if asked

Microsoft says it will provide the FBI with BitLocker encryption keys if requested for PCs that upload their key to the cloud via your Microsoft Account.

With Microsoft bodging the operating system by disabling offline accounts, cramping AI in everything and obviously don’t giving a flying f*** about your personal data: how far did you come sweeping that company from your or your family members life?

For me, it is still hard to evade Microsoft, as for reasons, companies and governments are still buying into that ecosystem (Teams, OneDrive, Office, Azure, …).

Did you manage to cut or phase Microsoft out?

    Except for a LinkedIn account (which I currently have disabled) I haven’t used any Microsoft products for probably over a decade.

    I am not as lucky at work though since that is unfortunately all in on Microsoft (Teams, Office, Azure, Windows etc).

    Not much I can do about that since the company develops a system used by municipalities in my country and they continue to be heavily reliant on Microsofts services in every way possible.
