Digital kill switches are security mechanisms designed to remotely disable or delete software, hardware, or data in case of theft, unauthorized access, or other security threats. Governments around the world have special legislation based on criteria to decide when to press kill button. However, this decisions are most likely be based on social control. The kill switch, for example, serves to censor content and restrict the dissemination of news. This particularly affects news about police brutality, human rights violations, or educational information. Governments can also use the kill switch to prevent government-critical demonstrators from communicating via news applications, or even used in new cars to limited our right of free movement.
