Title should read "Microsoft confirms it will give the FBI your Windows PC data encryption key if court-ordered to do so".

Just because the article is click bait doesn't mean the HN entry needs to be, too.

Sure, the fact that MS has your keys at all is no less problematic for it, but the article clearly explains that MS will do this if legally ordered to do so. Not "when the FBI asks for it".

Which is how things work: when the courts order you to do something, you either do that thing, or you are yourself violating the law.
