I know people who have had to give them the phone. It doesn't happen every time, it doesn't happen to everyone, it doesn't happen often, but it definitely does happen, and from what I understand, they can refuse you entry if you do not. I'm not in a position to say how common or widespread it is, but there are enough anecdotal stories to convince me it's probably decently widespread, albeit occasional and possibly targeted. Like you said though, no one knows what they'll do anymore, maybe just shoot you in the face. And that's kind of the point. They want that environment of uncertainty and not knowing when the bullet is going to come for you.

Sent back if they're lucky. Otherwise sent to concentration camps, El Salvador, or just never seen again at all.

Yes, they already do that. That said, if you have good op-sec, you're not going to have your social media on your phone. At least, not your real social media, or if you do, you'll have it behind a password they can't break and that you're not going to give them, so this is not really about getting into everyone's social media per se, it's more about providing them more excuses to detain people they don't like, increasing surveillance of people who they know are probably not really doing anything wrong to begin with, and the chilling effect that surveillance provides in controlling those people who are not really doing anything wrong.

Mmhmm. The more things change, the more things stay the same. "Gulf War 3: Gulf of America edition" Now with extra-bigass Freedom Fries!

Millenium can combine Proton folders into one (not an endorsement, I don't use it personally, just an option, you should perform your own due diligence)

Getting some serious "are we the baddies?" vibes from the US lately.

It is always okay to punch Nazis. You don't need a reason. (serious answer though: I have no idea what kicked it off, my comment still stands though, it's always okay to punch Nazis.)

They aren't as distracted by their phones yet. Once they get Tiktok, all bets are off.

Sounded like a Ukrainian drone attack to me.

"A few turns away" until suddenly the meme of the kid riding a bike shoving a stick in his own spokes.

Well I guess this game is going to be keeping me up all night after all.

It's never wrong to punch a Nazi, even if the Nazi is Jewish.

It's a form of gaslighting. They are minimizing our very legitimate concerns for our continued existence and right to self-determination and pretending we are only mad because of tariffs. They know exactly what they're doing and why they're doing it. The battle for Canada's independence is already in progress. And right now it's being conducted by information warfare. The risk is that it may not stay there, depending on how much progress they make in the information space.
