Do not store your Bitlocker encryption keys on Microsoft's servers if your threat model includes governments or law enforcement. As this article points out, this is the result of a design choice Microsoft made. It didn't have to be this way.

3Because of limited space, I am using "governments or law enforcement" as shorthand for anyone who can show up at Microsoft with a valid court order for your data. This is not a 1-to-1 mapping. I understand the difference and I don't feel like arguing about it.
@evacide “#Microsoft says it will provide encryption keys for Windows PC data protected by BitLocker where it has access to them and it's received a valid warrant.”
The word “valid” sure is doing a lot of work there. This is the most corrupt DoJ and FBI in generations. One that ignores court rulings that it disagrees with. So what way is the warrant “valid”? Syntactically? Grammatically? Because if we get any deeper, like morally or ethically, the argument gets harder to make.
