Maybe don’t live in a fucking dystopia. The US is a police state and you have no freedom left.

You do have the delusion of it though. It may not be real but if you want it to be you can work hard for money that was never real to begin with.

The more of those Talisman you handle the more magick will save your life til your labor is done with.

While I buy you’re general cynicism, it’s wrongly applied here …

It seems like we have both more and less protections than other places, for this instance.

while it’s not entirely settled case law, you can NOT be compelled to give up your passwords. Different states differ and they’re constantly trying
however biometrics are counted as public knowledge, so you have no protections

This is more of a scenario where legal contortions turn into huge inconsistencies, plus our legislature has refused to clarify so it’s all on the court system
