Remember...they can make you use touch id...they can't make you give them your password.

The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it.

I just searched the case. I'm appalled. It looks like USA doesn't have legal protection for reporter sources. Or better, Biden created some, but it was revoked by the current administration.

The real news here isn't privacy control in a consumer OS ir the right to privacy, but USA, the leader of the free world, becoming an autocracy.
