But law enforcement can still tell you to "Stop and put your hands above your head!"
The former is the communication of an idea. The latter is just a physical movement. Even though it's the exact same action.
- Zigurd 11y agoSo, under an All Writs order to produce a tool for the FBI, code becomes something like a "physical movement?" Have you got an answer to what compelled coding is, other than compelled speech?
- harryh 11y agoCommenting out some security code and recompiling isn't the communication of an idea. It's just the rote performance of a task. Like raising your hands above your head when the cop tells you to.
