In this “woke” world you are guilty until proven innocent (the reverse is ideal but it didn’t happen unfortunately).
So even if you didn’t do anything wrong, you can (and will) land into situations that will announce you guilty of something that is technically legal but you will pay for it anyways.
Hence its essential to arm ourselves with the right tools to combat what I call unethical scrutiny (DM me, if you got a better name).
You don’t want to do an action Y, but you have to do it anyways because of the situation in hand demands it.
So you use an antidote instead- You show them another State.
“Confidentiality of data stored on mobile devices depends on one critical security boundary in case of physical access, the device’s lockscreen. If an adversary is able to satisfy this lockscreen challenge, either through coercion (e.g. border control or customs check) or due to their close relationship to the victim (e.g. intimate partner abuse), private data is no longer protected. Therefore, a solution is necessary that renders secrets not only inaccessible, but allows to plausibly deny their sole existence.” - Bernhard Gründling
