something I feel is important to note: they added CSAM to the list of things they were searching for in order to gain access to his phone.
when the phone was clean (due to the wipe), they did not follow up on that charge
if they truly believed this person to be in possession of CSAM, a warrant should’ve been issued by now to follow up on that very serious accusation. instead, they go after the destruction of evidence.
because they have nothing on this man, and it was a fabricated excuse to gain access to his phone.
They’re doubly mad because they were trying to plant the CSAM
Yeah this thing is almost always followed up by a raid on their homes, their work computers etc.
There never was any actual suspicion of CSAM. I assume its what they tell you to get you to let your guard down or make you more inclined to comply.
“Well, I don’t have any CSAM, so it’ll be a quick search and they’ll let me go”
I have heard of another instance where customs claimed they wanted to search a phone for CSAM despite actually wanting to find something else. It worked in that instance.

Enshitification has done enough to get me off Reddit, I personally think very simple entry level tutorials on how to best personally disconnect from the surveillance apparatus, myself I am not computer savvy at all whatsoever so I have a long road ahead of me, too. I’m young but still old school, I like printing zines and putting them out into the world physically, maybe something easily printable telling people

What the problem is

How to solve it themselves

How to help others become aware subsequently help them.
Of course, online messaging will work too, just needs to be very very wide spread.

Straight up making these programs easier for tech illiterate people like me is probably the only solution. I am already very interested in this stuff but the learning curve is so huge I never bothered. When I was like 13 I got all into computer science then immediately was shoved out by my lack of intelligence in the subject and how confusing it is. I shouldn’t have to be tech inclined to play video games on a computer. Actually that is one of the reasons I stopped playing games for 10+ years and eventually just bought a console that’s 200% easier than any computer

in the burgerreich, when you complain about the government, you get accused of child abuse
Double standards much?
Release the Epstine files.
They better have proof or bring lots of money to the defamation lawsuit.
They can just manufacture proof these days, that’s the real risk here
My boy is a hero for not allowing his contacts to become states evidence
Freaked out when I realized I had the exact same YouTube recommendations as Louis 2 hours ago.
