That read was some scary stuff. Its getting bad for USA folks too, but in the end the 5th amendment has never been tested at the Supreme Court level. Every time we get a case close and its on the SC docket the case somehow gets pulled and settled out of court. Truly, I believe they are afraid to let it run full course because then local authorities could not lean on folks over such cases again. They could not threaten contempt if the SC issued a final ruling that the 5th stands supreme. I know I went off course here somewhat but I see the India case as having many of the components I mentioned above in this post.
Most countries already have systems in place where - with the correct legal paperwork - the TLA's can access anything.
But what about in the scenario where the stuff is ZERO KNOWLEDGE encrypted, which means only the user has access? So in most countries is it provide the password or its $5 wrench territory? My cloud based data is zero knowledge quantum proof with 50+ digit access and U2F needed. When it came down to it "would I buckle under the pressure"? Hope to never find out. ps-- what would prevent Indian users from having and using an email in Germany, Switzerland, etc...? Access to those accounts could be masked using means "unseen" by their country. In fact accessing these emails could be done without leaving ANY trace on the computer so a confiscated machine has no breadcrumbs. My .02
Did you read the article or are basing all your comments on the headline? This has nothing to do with encryption.
My point above was that regardless of TLA's legally being able to access anything -------------------------- > They CANNOT if the user handles their stuff properly. I meant taking matters into your own hands regardless. Hope that makes sense.
