That's a paddlin'
The United States is such a shithole country lol
No one should travel there.
Um excuse me, who else can defend peace and freedom and democracy? They make all the best weapons!
Somebody invite the Trisolarans
Pfff we'll just sanction them into surrender. Works very well, right?
China makes some pretty good rail guns, im told.
All my plans involving the US have been canceled for the foreseeable future. Fuck that place and Russia too.
Same thing i asked the other guy who posted this.
Do you have a source that isn’t a tabloid? The only other sources i found were other tabloids.
I’m sure horrible shit is happening but tabloids aren't news. They are meant to get an emotional reaction via mistruths and exaggeration. And you having a one day old account makes this even more suspect.
Well the CPB claims it was for drug use, but I don't trust them
Though it DOES indicate that there is more to the story than just tabloid bait
Do they have the right to search your phone ?
If it can be unlocked through biometrics yes, according to SCOTUS
ALWAYS use a passcode, you cannot be compelled to divulge those

They can deny entry.
Even for US citizens, they could still detain you for 48 hours, seize all belongings, and put you on a no-fly list.
I'm not sure about the US, probably, as others have said. Most countries it's less about a right and more about if you refuse, they'll just stick you in holding and deny you entry.
They always had. The US border has this special exemption to the constitution that some of the normal protections don't apply.
If you are a citizen, they (legally speaking) can't deny you entry, but can jail (detain) you for 48 hours and seize all your belongings, and put your on a no-fly list if they wanted to.
If you are not a citizen, they could deny you entry on top of all that.
This was always the case in previous administrations, its just that in previous administration, they weren't this insane.
yes.
Well too bad for me, my memes will need go away and my message history with my sister and friends on signal too
Really compromising
But, but Elon told me comedy was legal now!
US is China now.
what are we, a bunch of asians?
I have never had my phone searched for memes (or at all, for that matter) when entering China.
Tankies should be ecstatic.
I had one say they preferred Trump to Hilary because "at least he is helping the USSR expand" so maybe
You gotta screenshot things like that.

...Oh, fuck.
Sorry for the mediocre source, but it looks like it got its facts and translation right.

Magas hate freedom
Mads Mikkelsen
This not only has been going on awhile, it's worse than it sounds.
A French scientist was denied entry at the border earlier this year, in March, after officers unearthed messages criticising Trump on his phone.
Mikkelsen explained: "They threatened me with a minimum fine of $5,000 or five years in prison if I refused to provide the password to my phone."
How do you put someone in prison who has not entered your country yet?
And I thought it was already ruled that they can't hold someone for that long just for not giving up a password at the border?

This can't be true because conservatives always cry about free speech.
If this is true then that means conservatives are massive hypocritical assholes.

This themakes the USA look like we're a bunch of petty bitches. WTF is this bullshit, cowardly border agents. Seriously we're a kakistocracy with a bunch of elected officials and appointed officials that are thin skinned pussies.
