    Subverting legal orders is obviously illegal and you can’t have a valid legal contract which obligates one party to engage in illegal actions. Whatever is going on here is very odd, it’s surprising only Microsoft’s lawyers were willing to veto a deal over this. Pre-agreeing to send secret signals hidden from law enforcement like this is exactly the kind of thing that should be raising major red flags that you are entering into a criminal conspiracy rather than a legitimate contract.
