I know people have mixed opinions on Braxman but I don't see any huge leaps in logic here tbh... Thoughts?

Death of encryption?

They are rolling out forced turned-on-by-default BitLocker hard drive encryption for everyone using Windows 11. Including all those people who dont understand how it works and won't save their backup keys.

Microsoft is dumb but pretending they are trying to kill encryption is also dumb.

I suppose I meant to say "end to end encryption". It's no secret that it's been under attack from the top down for a long time but from my understanding the legislation keeps getting shot down. This seems like a perfect workaround unless I'm missing something.
