Quoting Daniel Kahn Gillmor <[email protected]>:
How does (or how could) a FreedomBox help a user avoid giving up their authentication credentials in the face of heavy-handed coercion by a powerful authority figure? This is not a rhetorical question; i'd really like to hear explanations or proposals!
One possibility would be to have the ability to lock the login to your account to a certain geographical location. If that location is your house, then it doesn't matter if someone else coerces the password out of you, because they have to be in a certain location to be able to use it. There may be much stronger legal grounds to refuse someone entry to your house.
This would of course only work if you were using a mobile device with a GPS receiver to access your account.
