RE: Soliciting feedback on pre-emptive methods to protect Hive against a malicious court order ...

You are viewing a single comment's thread:

"...mechanisms that speed up the actions of the individuals involved..."

You mean a kill switch?

I note the danger of enabling third parties to trigger impacts on Hive governance, and appreciate your concern. However, I cannot see how to indemnify witnesses from court orders without such a mechanism, because if they themselves act to impede the court's order, at least in US courts I reckon they could be liable for contempt.

Perhaps this is a risk witnesses just have to accept, since enabling external actors to affect Hive governance is indeed unacceptable.

That is my current position.

As @apshamilton stated here, the risk to any witness facing a potential court order seems to be fairly low, because of how slowly the courts operate.
