Comment on Massistant - new tool used by Chinese government to spy on seized phones
WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 13 hours agowire tapping is one thing, seizing and/or searching phones is another. while both are bad obviously, you can usually protect yourself against wiretapping by using secure communication systems, which phone calls is not a part of

I think we live in a time period where seizing/searching phones doesn’t need the physical device to be present. They just have to ask Google and Meta to do it for them. Different than literally combing through the memory on the device, but not much. That being said I would bring a burner if I went to the US. Lord knows I have said more than my fair share of critical things about the US government lol

I would say you can protect yourself against that too. no need to store sensitive info on those silos. google is more complicated with how deep access those fuckers have to virtually all phones, but if you are slightly determined that can be solved too.
I agree on all other points
