- aroch 13y agoYou're probably thinking about the child pornography case that's going on right now where the accused was ordered by the courts to provide his passphrase. Higher level courts say you cannot compel that sort of evidence.

- tomjen3 13y agoYeah, but the British government is famously orweillian, and 16 weeks is a lot less than he wouldhave gotton for child porn (I hope).
