content: look, if you're just a normal person protecting their data from theft, bitlocker is perfectly fine. Great actually. for 99.99% of use cases, its great. Stolen laptop? no worries, disk is protected by bitlocker. No criminal that grabs your laptop is going to be able to decrypt it, assuming your password is secure. now, if you're into clandestine stuff, dealing with state actors etc? yeah, bitlocker may or may not be good enough. Or if you're worried that your hard drive will be siezed by the government and decrypted with help from MS? Yeah, that may be possible. But if you're REALLY worried about that, you're not relying on bitlocker anyways.
