@Anachron nah. It's just money.

[anachron@fosstodon.org]

@falkheiland how do they make money off of it?

This screams about what happened to TrueCrypt back 10+ years ago.

@Anachron i am saying "why Microsoft is forcing online accounts so hard:" Money.
Giving bitlocker keys to law enforcement is not the reason for forcing online accounts.

[anachron@fosstodon.org]

@falkheiland it is. I have no doubt about it.

It's all about control.

Do you really think when a 3 letter agency asks you to create a way for them to be able to receive decryption keys that you have any chance to say no?

TrueCrypt allegedly got a letter from a government agency which forced them to either create a security hole or stop all together.

Luckily for us, they choose the later.

PS. This is not a conspiracy theory. This is how the world operates.

@Anachron I am going with occam's razor here.
