Re:Man jailed over Facebook password refusal by Spivak on Sunday September 02, 2018 @12:03AM (#17895470)
I don't think it's a straightforward conclusion that refusing to provide the password to a digital safe falls under fifth amendment protections. Following the precedent for physical documents the court would probably argue that unlocking a device, disk, file, etc. would not be self-incrimination because the person compelled to decrypt is not making any comment or statement of truth about the decrypted contents.
