This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
He's not wrong. They pulled him aside without a warrant and gave him a choice with zero options: Surrender your phone data and give up your privacy, and in the current political climate they always find something that is hurtful to Donald's tender feelings, or refuse and be detained.
I made a video on Samuel's story a few weeks ago, if anyone out there hasn't heard of it.
Yes if they had any actionable information on him they would have already been advertising it or putting it out there. The fact that they haven't speaks volumes. This Administration would even purposefully griefly put out false information as long as it hurts people they don't like.
There's a good chance they had information on him, but they got it illegally and needed to 'accidentally' discover the same information during a 'random' search and now they're butthurt because it didn't work.
If they had anything, they'd've had a warrant.
A healthy, broadly educated population, which feels safe and secure, is incompatible with, and toxic to, conservative and authoritarian ideologies.
They need you to be sick, stupid, and scared.
dont forget poor. a poor people are often hungry people and often become angry.
I see that as an example of being sick and scared.
The irony of the Trump administration literally destroying all records of business ownership is insane. That is like the greatest destruction of evidence in the history of a country.
I don't think "at risk" is right, legal privacy protections have been a joke since 9/11, and nobody in power (We e;ected Obama to fix that and he expanded it instead) is ever going to let the control they stole in that climate of fear go.

Facts. One of the areas where Dems/Reps always agree is that your civil liberties are theirs to trample on at will.
If they agree iot's either bad for us, or sounds good but probably won't change anything.
Like the ROAD act that had such overwhelming bipartisan support, and sounds like a great idea, but the limits set to cub venture capital and private equity are pointless when FinCEN databases are being purged and corporate ownership no longer needs to be tracked.
And we get something good, like Biden's infrastructure program, but it ends up not going to fix crumbling roads and bridges that keep falling down or build rail infrastrructure we need, but to put up millions of ALPRs linked to shady corporations who spy on us and hand out all that data without a warrant to anyone from ICE to a data broker to a random hacker trying to steal your identity.
So much bullshit has been enacted in the name of national security or safety.
Yeah. :(
I remember fall of 2001 at the Mizzou/Texas game, sitting out the anthem in protest and being threatened by people around me. Every damn one of them was a-okay with this for two decades.
It is nice to see public sentiment finally turning against mass surveillance, though. We'll see if it lasts more than one election cycle.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.
Identity-based hate is always weakness.
Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.
I don't care what they admit. I want to see justice done.
They were never in posesión of the unencrypted data, and without collaboration that data would be imposible to obtain. "That's why they asked por the password".
I don't think it holds as "destruction of evidence".
Is like they try to get a confession out of you. You don't want to say anything and they say that the words you didn't say are "destructed evidence".
Such bullshit. There should be no law against deleting your data.
There isn’t one. They are using to establish a precedent.
But then how will the apparatus of law work on you? That opinion seems like criminal behavior. You must have something to hide, or believe the apparatus of law would fabricate it, which is criminal behavior.
