You dont have to. But personally I will just simply comply because it is far more convenient and less time consuming than fighting the law enforcement over such a minor issue especially when you know that you have done nothing illegal. The purpose of me encrypting my data is to prevent it from falling into criminals' hand, not to give law enforcements a hard time when they are trying to strike my name off the suspect list.

Bruh if they ask for passwords just delete and remove everything than providing that shit to those government stooges.

Looks well written and thorough.

There were a couple other cases like this (one in the UK IIRC): https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2020/02/man-who-refused-to-decrypt-hard-drives-is-free-after-four-years-in-jail/

The dissenting opinion was interesting, I wonder if this got kicked upstairs or did the prosecutors have other fish to fry.

Key Disclosure Law

within the united states your passwords are protected by the 5th amendment.

fyi at the border it's more of a grey area and they are trying to coerce and compel you to including some possible notion of holding the device for a week or so to inspect it before returning it. You still do not legally need give them the password or entry into the device.

keep in mind, fingerprints and other biometrics are not passwords and for a long time were not protected in the same way. In 2019 it was ruled in Cali to get the same protection, but I'm not sure how far that runs Link

From what I gather, judges usually rule key disclosure when the government already knows the information in the device and it's not for getting new evidence but making the evidence available to the court. In any case I don't think the cops can just lawfully request your key, like they can't search your house without a warrant on normal occasions. My question is what happens if you forgot your password for real? Is there any possibility for them to deny that you forgot it except rubber-hose cryptanalysis?

In the USA i think they are free to take your stuff if you dont provide them the encryption password. But dont know for how long they can keep it...

I'd suggest

• A section for blocking internet access/trackers of apps w/ Netguard or Trackercontrol
• Adding Briar & Conversations to the texting section
• Maybe adding a link to using signal without giving out your phone number
• Mention of GrapheneOS

Otherwise seems good to me. Well done!

LOL of course they did.

just the common sense stuff adblock,password manager and a open source os or applications.

thats the way. also always think twice and give a small research time before joining any service. You can probably also benefit of a digital Detox.

I think setting up a pihole for them is a safe bet since they don't have to do anything. Other than that maybe a password manager with an add-on would be also low on convenience reduction. Or changing their browser to SecBrowser might be a good idea.

I recommend switching to a more secure browser (brave, firefox,...). Also i would recommend installing pihole on your network if you have a raspberry pi laying around. (Raspberry Pi 0 is about 5 dollars each + its really easy to set up).

Isn't it a security risk?

don't use brave they track your data thats how you earn crypto if you dont wanna use tor or I2P use firefox. firefox gives you the best privacy setting as far as clear net browsers

Your account(s) would be stored in users.json in the data directory.

I love ZeroNet.

The passwordless feature is neat but I have more than one device and I've not used ZeroNet enough to know how (or if possible) to sync the data between, say, a laptop and a desktop if I want the same ID. I'm sure it's just a stored key file or something, just haven't looked into it.

I'm not sure how to initiate ZeroNet on anything other than a Linux machine, and I can't see someone like most my relatives or friends doing that. Probably a desktop shortcut or app on Windows, I'd imagine?

I'm thinking of ways that just your normal person can experience the internet in a way that isn't too off putting to them, as an end user, but also in a way that values their privacy.

Testing with javascript disabled... Appears to work as well. Please let me know via PM or in /f/ramble of any errors you encounter so we can get them ironed out. Thanks!

Did you receive a server error?

I'm unable to replicate the error it seems.

I think it works?

replies to comments appear to be le broke

I installed Brave on all of their devices, deleted Chrome and hid Safari.

Probably not the answer you want, but ZeroNet.

ZeroNet is passwordless.

Currently though, TOR browser broke the ability to work with ZeroNet, so some privacy might potentially be sacrificed if browsing the wrong site.

In browser ad-blocking is a start unless you want to go the network route and setup a Raspberry Pi running pi-hole on it. Though the browser addons / plugins are less likely to need tuning, something it sounds like they're not equipped to do.

Once they get used to seeing the internet without ads all over the place, they'll freak out when they get on a computer or device that allows them. That will be a good starting point.

Is anyone surprised?
