Indirectly murdering hundreds of thousands of people in pursuit of profits.

pedophilia (if you are rich)

For profit slave labor prisons are very lucrative I hear

Being white

they are evil and hypocritical is what they are.

they want to make an example out of people trying to escape the panopticon.

Not if you live within the jurisdiction of the 4th Circuit. The court "ruled that a lower standard applies to manual searches, allowing the government to conduct extraordinarily invasive electronic device searches without any suspicion of wrongdoing, simply because the border officer chooses to search by hand rather than with a forensic tool."

Does this apply to non-US citizens as well?

Or loads a dummy profile and deletes other profiles without giving away what is happening.

I had this feature on a Xiaomi phone that i had a few years ago. I could even set up the fingerprint reader to open a different profile depending on which finger i used.

Dont think that would be as secure. Once a phone has been unlocked after reboot, even if it has been locked again, the operating system and ram can be accessed quite easily with the correct tools and border controls have those tools.

Even a Graphene phone is only properly secure before first unlock after reboot. So i would not personally rely on allowing acess to any profile. I would assume its possible, (probably trivial) to gain complete access from there.

Any duress pin use should be covered under a person's right to avoid self incrimination.

If the phone is owned by your employer and they are the investigation target, then you might be on dodgy ground.

Alternately, a user profile that isn't displayed anywhere, but accessible only through a specific PIN, maybe. Not sure how you'd explain the storage space either option used, however.

Nothing is needed. Erase your shit before you travel in or out of the US.

You can already have multiple independent users in graphene (maybe in stock android too idk). You have to switch them before the possible search though.

Or just set it to your mmddyy or something typical for weak passwords

I'm not going to disclose my specific way, but numbers don't need decimal digits to be expressed and parsed. An hypothetical example:

Oh... ye shadow! Nahamah, my Mother

Believe it or not, this is encoding the today's date, 2026-07-26.

Oh = 2 letters
Elipsis = no letters, so 0
ye = 2 letters
shadow = 6 letters

Nahamah = 7

My = 2
Mother = 6

The funny part? I just conjured this technique during the composition of this very reply. It's somehow easy for me to conjure atypical steganographic techniques, and I use steganography quite often IRL. In this way, I can literally write down my passwords and keep in my wallet, and absolutely nobody will get to figure out it's meant to be a password.

Luckily for FBI and other investigation agencies, I dont even think of visiting the USA, but good luck for any fed or cop trying to keep up with my plethora of steganographic techniques (and my neurodivergent brain) amidst plausible deniability if I ever did. Lol

You can have a business card with a "phone"number on it. (Your pin can be any part of that number it is only you who needs to know where to start reading the code). You don't need to have a sus number only piece of paper. :)

They just accuse you of withholding evidence. Yay for freedom of speech.

How are they supposed to know there was evidence on it? I'm allowed to delete my files, aren't I?

Except that this person wasn't accused or even suspected of a crime.

If I understand correctly they didn’t actually delete anything it just shreds the encryption keys so it can’t be accessed. Idk if the difference matters a whole lot though.

In order to be convicted of destroying evidence, there needs to be proof that there was "evidence" on the phone in the first place.

If something on the phone is already known without doubt, then what's the need for access? if there is doubt at the time of the wipe then there is no proof or destroying evidence. 🤷‍♂️

I cross the US border every few months.

Stopped carrying a laptop, still crossing the border with a graphene phone, tho.

Really? I feel like I'm constantly seeing complaints about the US's growing authoritarianism.

In a thread where people are saying US is an authoritarian country: "wow they never say this"

What they don't believe is that it has started decades before Trump

What a coincidence that it was the guy protesting the police who was also suspected of possessing such materials. If it turns out they had real independent grounds to suspect he had such images, I'll change this view, but for now I assume that's the cops' standard line to shut down people's questions. Just say they thought the political target had CSAM, and immediately people see him differently, plus the police can accuse anyone who challenges their actions of supporting pedophiles.

Sounds like bs without any definitive proof

They implied that based on his use of grapheneOS/erasure of the device. In reality he is a Stop Cop City activist. The fascists just want to associate good privacy and security practices with criminality and depravity.

How do you know if phone got erased?
