The debate that is happening around this incident is doing everything they can to avoid the white elephant in the room.

That white elephant is the fact that the use of such a feature, in this instance might have been illegal.

Listen, not even the fucking engineers of the feature of this OS can avoid the conversation. This feature was built with the understanding that someday, someone might use this feature and it will land them in legal hot water.

It is intrinsically linked by the very nature of what it is. A privacy focused OS, a feature that lets you wipe the data on the phone is going to be very useful in the hands of criminals. It would be foolish to say otherwise that such a feature can be exploited.

That is not the intended purpose of the feature, let us be clear, but the idea that the feature can be abused or used in illegal settings is not something that can be ignored.

Someone used it, people are going to be for and against it. Both sides will cheer for their camp and advocate for it to spread and others to use the service, and there will be those who attack him for using it.

The other group is going to be paying attention to the details surrounding the incident. Was his use justified? What will come of it? The substance of the case will be entirely over it's use in the moment.

The govt is not going to really care or attack the OS itself. The tiny details about its use are what REALLY matter here!

By now you’ve heard about the guy “who wiped his phone with a code and now is charged.” It’s bullsh**. Let’s get into it.

The federal indictment over a GrapheneOS duress PIN isn't just a threat to privacy… it’s a fundamental misunderstanding of computer science and criminal law.

1) The core technical reality: A GrapheneOS duress PIN doesn't destroy data or smash a hard drive. It simply destroys the cryptographic keys protecting filebased encryption. The physical phone, silicon, and flash storage remain completely intact in government hands.

2) Legally speaking, charging someone under statutes like destruction of property to prevent seizure requires an actual physical act against tangible property - like flushing drugs down a toilet or burning a document.

3) Refusing to hand over keys - or configuring a device to drop cryptographic keys under duress -is an exercise of zero knowledge privacy and, fundamentally, the Fifth Amendment. Mathematics cannot be prosecuted as a demolition derby.

4) Furthermore, under modern encryption standards, ciphertext without keys is indistinguishable from random background noise. Failing to provide a master decryption key is legally distinct from destroying physical evidence.

5) If using standard, legal privacy hardening like GrapheneOS is suddenly destruction of evidence, then using full disk encryption, a password manager, or locking your front door is next. This dangerous precedent needs to be thrown out.

Aside from the legal absurdity, this entire ordeal has turned out to be an incredible advertisement for GrapheneOS.

By putting its real world effectiveness on global display when it matters most, the government inadvertently proved that the software does exactly what it promises.

At its core, this whole case is just another total bullshit attack on personal liberty and privacy.

He was stopped at a point of entry and CBP has broad authority to search devices. The dude was suspected of terrorist activity, allegedly.

The feature by its very nature carries legal risk to use. You can argue about it all you want but if the feature is meant to protect or cover your ass by deleting contents inside by method of a "duress" PIN from the outside then everyone should be fully aware that using it may mean getting into legal friction.

The way the dude use it was a MASSIVE personal risk. He would have won much, much easier in court if he just shut his mouth and let them take his shit against his will. Using the feature, at the time and in the manner he did, was basically shooting himself in the foot.

@hoshizorarock The cheese police is rather small...

Best behave yourself or you'll receive a punishment worse than prison!

[J @Marduk21]

A direct translation, yes, but it doesn't roll off the tongue quite like son of a bitch.

Same energy though.

[Phantom II @Phantom2Phlyer]

@AdaLluch My Spanish is horrible, but doesn't that mean, "son of a whore?"

[J @Marduk21]

@EndWokeness 60k people who are willing to die if it means advancing their cause even just 1m and who say they are commanded by god to convert others and kill those who refuse.

[J @Marduk21]

2.7M impression and 76k likes from the moment when I am sharing it.

76k people from across the globe are glad and like that the citizens are hitting the streets to protect their people, their culture and their way of life.

The world wants us to protect our culture, whoever we are, whatever our culture may be, protect it!!!

The world will support it. Yes it is ugly, there is no way for things not to be ugly when people invade your land with conquest on their mind.

[RadioGenoa @RadioGenoa]

Spanish patriots patrol the streets of Ceuta to hunt down North African invaders.

[J @Marduk21]

@bunburyoudoujp This has that same vibe of sliding the cop a donut for a get out of jail free card...

good luck with that 😂

[J @Marduk21]

@learning_yohei Your English is that good?😲👀

[J @Marduk21]

@cb_doge

[J @Marduk21]

AT LEAST

And lets point something out, at this point they are highly incentivized and motivated to lie and suppress the real numbers.

It could be hundreds who have died as a result of the mass crossings, but it is in "no ones" interest for the real numbers to come out.

[unusual_whales @unusual_whales]

Spain says at least 57 people died during the Ceuta mass crossings, and almost all of the remaining migrants have now been returned to Morocco, per CNN

[J @Marduk21]

That image of him point at Trump looks so fake...

The general public know that newscum is a loser and doesn't stack up to Trump the way he thinks or portrays himself to.

You are killing any credibility you have and people will turn against you if you try and protect that sleezebag

[J @Marduk21]

Bleach 1000 year blood war has gotten really good at telling the story... truly some phenomenal work!!!

[J @Marduk21]

@hoshizorarock That is an act of war!!

[J @Marduk21]

@tsumugi_meow I live in Oregon. It is the state directly above California. 😁

[J @Marduk21]

And from here the death toll will only go up until martial law is declared.

War in Spain has begun...

[Alex Jones @RealAlexJones]

Islamic invaders are STABBING and carjacking innocent people across CEUTA - SPAIN

The Spanish military are nowhere to be seen.

This is why we have the 2A in the United States..

[J @Marduk21]

@sioqux I still think I could win in a fight 😏

[J @Marduk21]

@hoshizorarock @JesseNelso58876 That looks like something I already enjoy. What is it exactly?🤨

[J @Marduk21]

yes

[J @Marduk21]

@canerikcii You're trying to find a boyfriend in the wrong crowd.

You look gorgeous 😍
