I mean… sure? If you’re moving to another country be prepared to have your life scrutinized.
I think the biggest issue is how nearly certain this is to be used on citizens as well (if it isn’t already). I think it’s pretty short hops from ‘something they don’t like posted’ -> search or confiscate phone every time you cross international border -> ???
And none of this requires probable cause or a warrant.
