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,”

I would want to catch pedophiles too, but I seriously don't believe a damn thing any branch of this government says about anyone.

For all I know he has a video of trumps night out at Epstein island and that's why they want the password to destroy it.

Obviously probably not but still, I'm supposed to just take the scouts honor of our unhonorable government that this guy totally has this on his hard drive even if they can't prove it?

They could say this about any of us at any time for any devices password we won't give them.

I don't agree with this precedent.

Oh yeah I think it's terrible this guy is imprisoned for not giving up a password, for something they can't prove. Like they shouldn't be able to detain someone indefinitely for an unproven crime. At some point they have to release them or it's guilty until proven innocent.
