A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Using lockdown is the same thing as restarting, it puts it into a BFU state.
Evidence/source? My understanding is you inherently cannot go back to BFU (before first unlock) state once you're in AFU unless you reboot.
Again, I'm not talking about simply disabling biometrics unlock -- BFU = your decryption key is not in memory yet (at all).

this seems to confirm what you're saying.
Thank you. I say it because I was genuinely asking the person who replied to me, in case I was wrong. In the context of privacy, it's extremely important to know for sure.
