And what if they open notes to see if there's anything suspicious?

Talk about low hanging fruit, everyone I know brings a burner phone when traveling with fake Facebook/Instagram/X accounts.

Also don't forget to upload sensitive data like contacts to friendly cloud service or email service in the country your traveling.

Also if you dress as a priest, rabbi or mufti is a good way to ease past customs without being stripped searched

Yeah, if you're in a country where having an app on your phone could land you in jail and searches can be done at will, playing hide-and-seek like this is risky. Maybe the responsible departments would wise up and respond appropriately. You need better plausible deniability and something like a self-destruct mechanism/password.

Here they have no problem with the app, but the content.
If your phone holds social media posts of political intent, you are busted.
But using FB, X, or any other social media platform for anything else, even porn or piracy, is okay.

Those are your FREEs, as long as I can be the DOM in political thoughts/powers. Freedom redefined. It's pretty much feudalism, and the "next" rulers may take our FREEs as well.

Honestly speaking, freedom does not fit certain communities with specific ethnocultural ideology; security and stability matters more.
