The best encryption won&amp;#x27;t save you from rubberhose cryptanalysis where they beat you until you reveal your key. Clever circumvention technologies such as VPN won&amp;#x27;t save you when they arrest your for using circumvention technologies.&lt;p&gt;These are all good things, but we in tech, oftentimes think we can program our way out of bad physical governance. We can&amp;#x27;t! We need now more than ever to engage with everyone to make sure that we have good physical governments.</text></comment>
