    It’s crazy that back in Belarus in 2021 we laughed off our friend who gave his phone & password to search to a solider who approached him during his commute to university.

    We couldn’t expect that it will became a norm in our country, not to mention “civilized world”. But it did…

    Just five year later same practice is OK in US. Same US that was busy with ethical question of unlocking or not unlocking terrorists iPhones in past decade.

    Tech is going from Wild West to Cyber Gulag.
