โš ๏ธQuick tip for the privacy community: remember that duress passwords and decoy PINs can be a double-edged sword. In some jurisdictions, using them during an investigation is treated as destruction of evidence, which may result in separate criminal charges and prison time.

Stay safe by knowing your rights and talking to a local legal professional before setting up these tools!

@justbob ๐Ÿ˜‚ fair enough!

Just make sure you've read the "prison time" part of the tip first! ๐Ÿ˜‰
Stay safe.

I donโ€™t think we are there just yet. With this new incident at customs, depending on how that case unfolds, weโ€™ll see.

@0x520 yes and no: using a duress password in China or in Hong Kong leads to imprisonment. We're seeing similar trends globally. From the UK to Asia, digital silence is being criminalized in many different ways...๐Ÿ˜ฌ
