A U.S. citizen has asked a court to throw out the government's claim that he gave over a passcode to border authorities that wiped his phone's data, opening up fresh questions about a person's constitutional rights at the U.S. border.

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,”

    Its good if the courts hold that sentiment up in his favor.

    If they don’t and take the border patrols side in this case then this just sets a horrific precedent for the future.

    I hope the feds get raked over the coals in this court case and not only loose but get the dog shit sued out of them for this stunt.

    I’m not optimistic anymore though.
