The legal situation is more complex and nuanced than the headline implies, so the article is worth reading. This adds another ruling to the confusing case history regarding forced biometric unlocking.

    Nobody cares. It’s easy. Folks aren’t out getting arrested in mass, even in the United States. Unless youre out selling drugs or protesting while breaking shit it has no functional effect on your life in any way.

      Ah, yes, if you’ve done nothing wrong argument.

      I still care whether government is being properly restrained in applying it’s power against any individual citizen, because that citizen represents all of us.

      Innocent until proven guilty, and all that

        I don’t care. I’m just saying the why.

        TBH privacy advocates have largely put themselves into the position of the window ME UAC prompt. They are deaf to it and IMO it’s a large part of the privacy community treating everything like an 11 and refusal to look towards a user friendly threat model.
