  Officials may ask to inspect your electronic devices, emails, text messages or social media accounts. If you refuse, they can deny your entry

  Let’s remember that this has been the case for years for anyone entering Australia too.

    Yeah but no one gets guantanamoed for calling the PM a cunt

    Yes, but the data isn’t being used to silence criticism, like in the USA. However, that just goes to show how important privacy laws are in principle, not just based on who’s in power. Who’s in power changes.

      There’s no actual evidence to suggest it’s being used to silence criticism in the USA either though. This woman didn’t go to the USA. She didn’t get denied entry.

    Denied entry isn’t a big deal. Being detained for weeks/months for criticizing the orange mobster would be.

      Price Ticket from Australia and another 24 hours in flight are a big deal too. Not to mention contractual obligations to perform.

    In Australia they can clone your phone and hold the data indefinitely

  I’d be a lot more worried about being sent to an El Salvador prison without cause, not just being denied entry

    as always, being denied entry is the best outcome, and workers who decide to deny people entry should honestly be celebrated for potentially saving lives.

  I think everyone should avoid visiting the US.
