@jackemled@furry.engineer @tehfishman@ioc.exchange @smn@l3ib.org All I hear from this is that it doesn't matter what you do, they will do whatever they want anyway.

@ahltorp@mastodon.nu @jackemled@furry.engineer @smn@l3ib.org despair is certainly one interpretation. And what with all the fascism swirling around, I feel that way, too, sometimes. But another interpretation is that it's only like this because enough people decided it should be that way. Which means it can be changed if enough people want to change it. And yet a third interpretation is what the EFF has been recommending, which is to prepare by not having any data on your phone during border crossings. Take a backup, store it on a cloud service, wipe your device, and restore the backup when you've crossed. It's horribly inconvenient, but it avoids any legal issues. None of these ideas are mutually exclusive.
