Feels to me like #GrapheneOS did exactly what it should, passing the #US border test with flying colours!

Funny part about this #lawsuit:
“With a little planning ahead of time, you can always download the data you need once you get to where you’re going,”

US accuses American of allegedly wiping his phone using a 'duress' password during border search | TechCrunch

A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

ah yes. I used GrapheneOS for a long while and highly recommend the duress password :) As a side note - The ad block issue with Tech Crunch... I understand they make their income through ad revenue.

How much would 1 user add to ad revenue? Charge me that or a tiny bit more to read it :)

@smaurizi I just wished #GrapheneOS wasn't maintained by an abrasive dickhead who goes 'My way of the Highway'", refuses to acknowledge that relying on #proprietary #silicon for #security is a toxic lock-in with "Trust-me-Bro" Security & didn't sello…
