A 21-year-old Norwegian man says he was denied entry into the US after border agents found an edited meme of US vice-president J.D. Vance on his phone.
At first I was going to comment that goatse was never a video, and therefore could not be made into an animated gif, but then I remembered img2vid exists. I could see some wild AI slop being pretty hilarious.
Like 10+ years ago I had a “private photos” app that would open up two completely different photo vaults based on what pin you entered. I didn’t even think it was a big deal at the time because it makes perfect sense to do. I’m amazed that hasn’t become standard practice in the meantime.
I thought about doing something similar with my laptop, simply by naming my main account Guest, and using my name as the account they would check at customs.
The sad thing is I agree with you, but the sadder thing is I was born here, and still live here. But I’m going to be filling my phone with these anyway when I travel abroad and (presumably) return.
Not returning is pretty enticing though, if I didn’t have elderly parents to take care of.
Never travel to the united states
It’s quite clear the only way we’ll learn is the hard way. We’ll see how much smug entitlement we can sustain when the world moves on without us.
Or if you do, fill your phone with 1000s of up close photos of assholes. See if they figure it out.
Fill your gallery entirely with nothing but AI upscaled 4k gifs of tubgirl
I think goatse is more appropriate.

Is there an app to make this happen easily? Maybe a GrapheneOS feature??
Why would grapheneOS have an ai upscale feature? There isn’t even an assistant by default
I’m a Pain Olympics fan myself
Realistically the next big security push on mobile devices, due to things like this, should be plausible deniability. In the same way that VeraCrypt lets you set up encryption where you can “unlock” encrypted content and it’s a fallback to secure your privacy, phones should allow a backup account or something similar that has select group of apps, photos and messages, perhaps depending on the PIN you use to unlock your phone

I thought that strategy was just for the NSA but I guess it could also work for the TSA.
And enjoy it when they assault you and lock you away for years. You have no rights in their country, don’t risk it.

I live on the border. I’ve been many times. The day Trump was elected the second time I swore I would never cross the border again.
