I take a slightly different view in that one should never have to cooperate in any way in his own prosecution. Except for computers, nothing else is mandatory; if you refuse to be arrested, the cops will taze you (bro), if you go on a hunger strike in prison, the guards will tie you down and feed you through a tube, and so on. With all that as context, it seems absurd that you should have to type your innermost thoughts into a laptop so that the government can send you to jail.
