I tried to put it in a neutral way, and I think it’s a far from a black and white issue. Not to go too sideways, but hostage (with humans, not data) situations are typically about other people. When you’re the target, it’s not your life on the line, but your loved/valuable ones. So you’re not defending just yourself, you actually have to care about at least someone else to have it happen to you. And some care about a lot more than just their loved ones, they’ll also think about their friends, family, sometimes the rest of the society. Everyone is different and there is no absolute best, but let’s at least recognize it’s complex and there’s lots of ways to think about it.
