alt Hacker News> Allow a toggle with no waiting period during initial device setup
I like this idea in principle but I think it could become a workaround that the same malicious entities would be willing to exploit, by just coercing their victims to "reset" their phones to access that toggle.

None of this is stopping a malicious entity. We keep trying to use tech (poorly thought out tech at that) to solve issues of social engineering. And no one is asking for a solution, either; it's being jammed in for control.

That wipes all the data on the device and requires logging back in to accounts. It seems to me that's high enough friction to resist most coercion.
