BitLocker is supposed to protect your data, but storing recovery keys in Microsoft’s cloud creates a direct path for law enforcement (and potentially attackers) to access them. Full breakdown of what happened and why it matters🔗: buff.ly/aDl5hde
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.

In case you missed this yesterday - this project is incredibly important and dear to me. The developer, @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social, is potentially in danger for insisting on making this game, but he refuses to back down because backing down would mean not telling this story.
I want to make a personal appeal for the beautiful new game of Palestinian gamedev @rasheedabueideh.bsky.social. As nobody will fund a game about the 1948 Nakba, Rasheed is crowdfunding via launchgood.com/1948. I've been doing production advice on the game pro bono, and it deserves to exist.
