> Traveling to the US last year I'm glad I did, passed through the border checkup much easier than my other privacy loving friends who deleted thei social media accounts.

This is sad. As a US citizen, I have no idea how to even begin fighting crap like this.




Donate to the EFF. They're the only organisation providing solid advice on how to protect yourself against these (IMO unconstitutional) border searches [1]

I've been contributing monthly to the EFF (and ACLU, among other organization) for years. And will also encourage others to do so! They're great organizations!

The issue is the EFF and ACLU aren't going to be able to get sweeping legislative changes themselves. We, the constituency, need to be very vocal action as well.

I just feel ignored and dismissed by my Congress Critters.
