  > You probably shouldn't assume you know people you've never met. Good advice, in general. I've never met anyone that didn't have something to hide from someone, though. But you're making an even stronger claim: That nothing that you've said or done will ever be something that you'd want to keep private. When data gets out, you don't get to call it back, even when circumstances in the world change.

    I'm well aware of that. There's nothing on my phone I'd be ashamed to have exposed. Like I said, SSH keys are a concern. In fact, your country's president probably wouldn't care too much if the stuff on his phone was exposed. He seems to be more than happy to make public all his thoughts and opinions.

      "There's nothing on my phone I'd be ashamed to have exposed." That's the wrong question, though. (Despite the quote above.) The question is, do you have anything on your phone that someday a government may decide is a reason to do something bad to you? The answer is always yes for two reasons: One, you can't know the future and what it will hold, for instance governments can make laws explicitly for the purpose of "getting" people, and two, the possible set of future governments pretty much has no safe behavior intersection.

        The whole point of my earlier comment was that I want a way to wipe my phone. I think that has been lost.

          I thought the point of your earlier comment was that you wanted a way to load different profiles. Otherwise, factory reset seems like a legitimate solution.

            Either a duress passcode or different profiles, depending on whether I think I'll get my phone back.
