Google is not entitled to my personal banking information or any other PII! WTF if I go to a store and want to buy I will.

    I feel like the bigger security concern here, if one needs to worry about it for their threat level that is more likely, is just like if someone knows your password, who could force me to unlock my phone via biometrics?

      In America at least, “law enforcement” (Police, Ice, CBP) aren’t allowed to force you to enter your password, but they can just happen to hold your phone up to your finger/face to unlock it using biometrics.

        If you don’t enter your password you are deemed suspicious. They’ll just put you in detention for a while to see if you’re a danger. Maybe the holding cells get full and they ship you off maybe you just sit there for a few weeks.

        They don’t seem to give a fuck about what they’re allowed or not allowed to do this year.

        Travel with a burner phone.

        Might wanna rethink that. If you aren’t a citizen, they could just threaten to send you to el salvador if you refuse to unlock (and maybe still do it after you complied). Even judges are getting arrested by the gestapo, I don’t feel safe even as a citizen. These are not normal times, I wouldn’t put so much faith on the rule of law.
