        Unless the law is far too different in that shithole of a country compared to a third world country like mine, it’s better to get fired than to quit. If you get fired, in particular if you get fired for something like “protecting human rights”, as that pretty much assures you the opening for a later lawsuit.

            They’re destroying it anyway, hence it’s important to stand your ground, collect and exfiltrate whatever evidence you can, and make sure they have to get their hands dirty to remove you, as that can be used as evidence later as well. And protects your community in the meantime.

            If people in government were more tech literate and willing to stand by their morals by whistleblowing, they would create a torrent of the encrypted evidence and set up a dead man’s switch for the key.
