If a phone wipes itself under duress, is that protecting privacy or destroying evidence?
(sh.itjust.works)
A recent case involving GrapheneOS's duress feature has sparked a debate about the balance between privacy and law enforcement. If someone is forced to unlock their phone, should they have the right to protect their personal data with an emergency wipe feature?
At the same time, critics argue that the same feature could be used by criminals to destroy evidence during an investigation, making it harder for law enforcement to do their job.
Where do you stand? Should operating systems include features like this, or do the risks outweigh the privacy benefits? .
I mean that isn't true. They could have investigated someone know they have something know it's there and now want it. Maybe not this guy but it is possible.
if that were the case they would have had an actual warrant.
