We all read about the attempts to charge a US Citizen for destruction of evidence for using the distress pin on his GOS phone. So what is safe to do if you know you will be traveling internationally? Are people getting a burner phone and leaving their normal phone at home? What’s to stop you from saying you dont have a phone if you are stopped at a border crossing?

    I like this point, and kinda want to dig in. What are the risks for journalists? I assume contact information and notes they’ve taken about potential stories. Chats. Passwords to those applications. Is it the same for the activist person?

    What are other common risk profiles people might need to think about?

    I care about it in principle, but also they’re making up the rules as they go.
