And also! I remembered!

Remember the TPM 2.0 chip that is mandatory for new windows? TPM stores your disk decryption keys and it is accessible by the system (windows) and tpm also has an immutable id also accesible by the system - so they can identify motherboards by just that tpm
Microsoft also sends the decryption keys over to their server and ties them to tpm id so that if the police confiscate a motherboard then read its id they can ask microsoft if they have keys to disks that were used with that motherboard

Also microsoft really wants you to log in with microsoft account so that they can use cookies and all imaginable other "partners" to identify you, on top of that new bills mandating OS to collect age (soon ID) will combine everything and unoficially register motherboards to your name and cops would not need a warrant to check which devices are yours, they could even just decrypt it i guess

Also microsoft forces the AI on your computer taking screenshots every 3 seconds (north korea phones take screenshots like each 10 minutes LOL) and it analyzes what you do in a given moment and using that TPM probably sends that data to microsoft servers in the form of text to reduce size (if you ever wondered why your windows keeps sending random packets constantly)
These packages will be timestamped so that they know exact moments on when something is happening on your screen

So the government will know which exact machine is yours tied to real life id, what you do on it, exact time of usage and exact time of actions, keys to decrypt everything, and since packets muts have an IP they know what network it was so they can just go to your house straight away

Note that they stopped pushing criminalization of end-to-end encryption just about the time they started liking "age verification"
That is because if they can identify the owner of a machine and decrypt contents they dont have to destroy end-to-end encryption if they can intercept one of the devices and identify the sender
Is that not beautiful?
