The tech giant said providing encryption keys was a standard response to a court order. But companies like Apple and Meta set up their systems so such a privacy violation isn’t possible.

    That means all government machines, federal and state, are now basically open and not secured. Remember how leaky the FBI is now, that’s already gotta be out in the wild.

    The mention of Meta in the summary doesn’t fit. The article only mentions them in passing in reference to WhatsApp backups. Misleading and not relevant at all when talking about BitLocker. I think this is an editorial mistake but makes it read like subvertising, which is a shame for reporting on such a serious issue. How Google does keys for ChromeOS and Android would have been much more appropriate to compare with but for some reason this isn’t even mentioned.
