The word "Gave" is really doing some heavy lifting in that title. Microsoft produced the keys in response to a warrant as required by law.
If you don't want a company, any company, to produce your data when given a warrant then you can't give the company that data. At all. Ever.
Not fast food joints, not Uber, not YouTube, not even the grocery store.
Not true with E2EE, they can’t give over shit when they don’t have the keys
Bitlocker is computer drive encryption. On W11 it’s supposed to be tied to the motherboards TPM. End to end encryption is not really applicable in this scenario. That phrase is more applicable to cloud services or storage where a telecom or CSP hosts or transports your data but can’t see what the data is.
Microsoft should not have the keys to decrypt Bitlocker ever.
Ofc its not applicable in that one scenario
