Why? Apple and Google will just unlock it for them later.
Yeah but you might as well make them work for it.
It might save the next guy because they don't have time.
Didn't apple go to war with the FBI over exactly this? Or did I miss where they changed their tune.
Yeah. Like 10 years ago. Not sure they would have the same stance now. MS just bent over backwards to give out bitlocker keys.
What are you basing this on? Anyone who can do research knows bitlocker-locked drives are recoverable with a Microsoft account, meaning MS hold the encryption keys and can hand them over to LE. That's not a new thing. Apple offers similar functionality to make devices unlockable with an iCloud recovery option but it's not mandatory. Do you have proof they're 'giving out' encryption keys otherwise?
Yep, unless you are using grapheneOS, Lineage, Fairphone, Jolla, .. you are screwed
Do you mean e/is? Fairphone is hardware, but uses either e/os or android
right, E/OS option
