New Zealand: Hand over phone password at border or face $3,200 fine

[Elstumpo]

The fuck why havent I heard of this prior.

[Sulaco]

Yea this scares the shit out of me, really fucking disappointing, our country use to be so progressive and now look at us.

[.𓃉𓁿𓂎𓁿𓃉.]

a bunch of billionaires got scared of the apocalypse and started doomsday prepping there

[Elstumpo]

All that does is guarantee us a nuke or two.

[Sableye]

Australian spies.

[CMX]

This is why nobody puts New Zealand on maps.

[Talvy]

"I have plenty of stories" sounds like you're willing to tell one, not sure about the rest.

Wasn't a Canadian turned away from the American border for having a homosexual dating app on his phone and thus being an 'undesirable' ?

All you fools joking about animal porn and collages of postal's ass better get a better strategy..

[Boilrig]

It will last for a while, this is a combined move by 5 Eyes, this is happening just months after they all decided to move forward on this stuff as the Australians are now currently trying to push a law through for the government to get backdoors to companies encryption.

[Hendo]

Guess i'll just need to log out of all my accounts before I go then

[Doom64hunter]

The entirety of the Anglosphere is retarded about privacy and data security in general. They all collectively want to put backdoors in encryption, so no surprises to see a move like this.

Welp, that's one country I'm never visiting. Got nothing on my phone to hide except some softcore furry porn and a shitton of pictures of RCs, model trains, and broken semi trucks, but I'm not giving up my privacy either. Fuck off, NZ.

9 times out of 10 there is at least two or three tabs of softcore content of that nature open in Chrome Mobile.

[DaCool]

This is getting so commonplace, this shit is freaking ridiculous.
So sad that the need for wiping phones and laptops becomes a necessity because these countries just want to snoop on ordinary travellers,
in the name of maintaining"security". Or rather security theatre.

Our lives become more and more digital, if we have to be so paranoid to invade every persons life,
I'd say the terrorists already won.

Do a collection of Internet Classics in every corner of your phone, tubgirl, 2girls1cup screenshots, goatse, lemonparty, etc.
