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,”

And if you destroy evidence during an official investigation, it's tampering.

I'm not sure why you're so confidently wrong. It's fucking embarrassing.

    Did you read the article and the laws pertaining to data seizure at the border? Crossing the border doesn't constitue an investigation of ANY kind, and also doesn't suddenly conjure up some sort of suspicion that a crime is in progress or has been committed, meaning no pretense for charges because PERSONAL DATA was not seized. Good lawd.
