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? .

Exactly. Show us your house, your computer, your phone... If you didn't commit murder and have kiddy porn, you have nothing to fear.

Do you see the issue here?

No i am wholly confused by what point you're trying to make, all i did was comment what the police said they were looking for in response to a question asking that.

idk if the cops were completely lying, but someone asked for the context and the context is the cops said they were looking for csm.
