Headline says “…if asked”

Article and facts are “…if served with a valid legal order compelling it”

∴ Headline is clickbait.

You are arguing semantics, whereas the point is that A) they have your keys, and B) they will give them away if they will have to

		No, that’s binary thinking. The degree to which they will resist giving them away matters. I’d much rather they require a warrant than just give it to any enforcement agency that sends them an email asking. The former is what I expect.

		It’s really just A. Point B is pretty much just derived from there.

I would prefer “it is impossible for Microsoft to give the keys because that’s not how their encryption works”.

		That’s the case if you change a setting. The default setting is a good mix of protecting people from the trouble they’re far more likely to run into (someone steals their laptop) while still allowing them back in if they forget their password. The previous default setting was no encryption at all which is worse in every case.

No, that's how I interpreted the headline.

asked, not ordered. Seems fine.
