Unfortunately, it’s not a fringe opinion that speech is similarly dangerous and should be similarly regulated.

It’s also not clear that the government can compel you to reveal a password, much less compel you to incriminate yourself.

I'm having trouble finding coverage in this, but I believe the current state is that the warrant can require you to unlock the phone but you don't have to tell them how or provide your password.
