Activist charged with felony after giving border agent "duress code" that wiped his phone
The government says destroying his own data during an airport interrogation was illegal.

This guy was searched when coming through a port of entry, including having his phone seized and searched for bogus reasons. Ostensibly, it was to look for CP; but in reality, he was affiliated with an anti-governmental overreach organization. So he was probably targeted and harassed for that reason.
I was registered on mensrights.space for awhile, and I PM'd Darth Aurelius and maybe a few others. So I'm largely convinced (while I can't prove it) that I was targeted due to this affiliation. Since Darth was likely arrested around that time, I'm assuming others who he had spoken with were also flagged.
I remember I did talk to Darth about his attitude toward Iran, and him possibly seeking funding from them. I did not encourage or help this aim in any way. That was just on his mind and I gave my opinion. I did warn him that the PMs on that site were likely not secure.
Back to the news story: he gave the Fed pig a "distress code", which unlocked the phone but wiped all the data. LOL!! If the FBI/ CBP is reading this, I sincerely hope there was a wealth of intel and incriminating stuff on there, that got erased. Serves you fuckers right for how you treated me. I'll need to look into getting that for my own phone.
