Sadly (2) is a legal requirement in Australia now, too.
If asked you MUST unlock your phone and computer. So if you’re travelling here or leaving — citizen or not — you best be prepared to have your data searched for arbitrary reasons.
I hate it.
- alsobrsp 5y agoThe best defence I have seen for this is to keep all your data on cloud storage and do a base install whenever you are crossing questionable borders. Rather than a cloud provider, host your own Nextcloud instance.
