Can they ask for online logins?

  Maybe, but you can also hand those over to a trusted party. Would be nice if email services lets you lock your email account until a trusted party unlocks it again.

    Why does this make me think of Harry Potter, the Fidelius Charm, and the secret keeper. Is this really what things have to come to?

  For a lot of websites (like Facebook), that's a violation of their ToS and I'm not sure they can ask you to break a contract.

    What possible interest would the government have in such a rule, and how could government agents possibly be able to know what contracts you've signed? They haven't read the Facebook ToS any more than you or I have. There was a case recently of a NASA scientist being hassled at the border for his phone. He initially refused on the basis that handing it over would compromise his obligations to his employer. It did not work. https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/12/14583124/nasa-sidd-bikkannavar-detained-cbp-phone-search-trump-travel-ban https://www.theverge.com/2017/2/12/14583124/nasa-sidd-bikkan...

    > I'm not sure they can ask you to break a contract. Are allowed to? Maybe, maybe not. Will do anyway? Probably yes.

      I'm certain they're allowed to. If the SEC thinks your employer is committing fraud, and asks you to inform on them, do they care that you have an NDA? Not a chance.
      • criddell 8y ago
        In the US, an NDA can't be used to conceal a crime.
