    Even though I have nothing incriminating on my phone, I still do a check up on my phone before I go to the airport. Just move all my photos/files/downloads to my PC.

      I used to backup my phone wipe it and then restore once across the boarder.

      This very message might already be cause for incrimination at this stage

      Leave your phone at home

      Regardless of what you or anyone has on your phone that is, in any context dystopian and authoritarian asf, there’s already been cases of people being detained by US border authorities for anything anti-govt. found on their devices. It’s like Trump read 1984 and thought it was an instruction manual.

      Worst part is he’s disguising himself as a libertarian and someone who’s pro free-speech, when his ideas of libertarianism only extend to his govt. and cronies and his ideas of freedom of speech extend to his own views and his own supporters. He’s using the guise of being censored himself to censor literally anyone who opposes him.

      On another note, for those who don’t care abt using free software, or don’t care about privacy cuz they have “nothing to hide”. Think about how much power the US govt. has over data collecting corps. like Microsoft, Google and apple, now think abt how much power a man like Trump can give himself over the US govt. How much control do u rlly have over your own devices? If there’s no way to truly, freely express yourself without govt. interference then there is no democracy.
