Don't carry digital data across any border, even if encrypted. Many countries have totally different standards over search and seizure at their borders to when you have gained entry and sometimes far worse for non citizens.

Australia has full rights to search hardware on entry. Careful coming here too.

Exactly. Don't make assumptions just because you are travelling to a "friendly" country.

A good option is backing up your data, encrypting it, then uploading to a server you can retrieve it from once you've crossed

Setting up some stuff might look less sus than a freshly wiped device though

america has freedom of speech but i guess not in this case.

America HAD freedom of speech. Now they're disappearing people for it.

"Freedom of Speech" is a euphemism for hate speech and racism in the US.

Freedom of speech means whatever they want it to in that moment it seems
