@bill88t It's hard to ensure they actually work since a copy of the data is all that's needed to defeat them (with modified software).
And in countries that lack a #RightToSilence and have #KeyDisclosure laws like France & the UK, they do not exonerate you, they incriminate you. Nevermind regimes where kidnapping & torture are normalized (there's a place for debate whether the two examples aren't included in that, but that's besides the point).
@HauntedOwlbear @erosdiscordia #France is also well on the road to #authoritarianism, as is the UK, with their lack of a (real) #RightToSilence.
It makes early leniency towards Putin from Macron especially suspicious. Particularly when he's now taking laws about protest and "inciting unrest" directly from Russia's own books.
@aral In connection to this https://ar.al/2021/12/18/the-three-laws-of-personal-devices/, I think it is also important for #RightToSilence or other self-incrimination avoidance rights to cover personal devices as well.
As currently there is this bizarre situation in many nations where mind-rape/mind-reading through one's devices is somehow considered not to be in flagrant violation of one's rights.
Of course some nations are just awful and have no such rights whatsoever and they're rightly called police states.
The Universal Declaration of Cyborg Rights states that we extend our selves using digital and networked technologies and that this extended self must be protected under human rights law. As the primary means by which we extend ourselves today are through our everyday personal devices – computers, mobile phones, the so-called “Internet of Things” and “smart” homes, cars, etc. – we must enshrine the human rights that pertain to our extended selves within concrete laws that protect personhood in the digital network age.
@Mer__edith The lack of a #RightToSilence and presence of #KeyDisclosure laws already gave it a very bad reputation.
Why they keep adding insult to injury I do not know.
