Same thing i asked the other guy who posted this.
Do you have a source that isn’t a tabloid? The only other sources i found were other tabloids.
I’m sure horrible shit is happening but tabloids aren't news. They are meant to get an emotional reaction via mistruths and exaggeration. And you having a one day old account makes this even more suspect.

All my plans involving the US have been canceled for the foreseeable future. Fuck that place and Russia too.

This themakes the USA look like we're a bunch of petty bitches. WTF is this bullshit, cowardly border agents. Seriously we're a kakistocracy with a bunch of elected officials and appointed officials that are thin skinned pussies.
US department of anti-tourism working hard lol
Magas hate freedom
Do they have the right to search your phone ?
I'm not sure about the US, probably, as others have said. Most countries it's less about a right and more about if you refuse, they'll just stick you in holding and deny you entry.
They always had. The US border has this special exemption to the constitution that some of the normal protections don't apply.
If you are a citizen, they (legally speaking) can't deny you entry, but can jail (detain) you for 48 hours and seize all your belongings, and put your on a no-fly list if they wanted to.
If you are not a citizen, they could deny you entry on top of all that.
This was always the case in previous administrations, its just that in previous administration, they weren't this insane.
yes.
Well too bad for me, my memes will need go away and my message history with my sister and friends on signal too

US is China now.
China is no shithole
China has healthcare.
Not if you're a Uyghur
Uh huh, because there's no genocide happening in or helped by America.

China also has horrific human rights abuse and rampant organ farming/trafficking.
So it's the same, but they have healthcare.

I have never had my phone searched for memes (or at all, for that matter) when entering China.
Tankies should be ecstatic.
I had one say they preferred Trump to Hilary because "at least he is helping the USSR expand" so maybe

Tankies? They are looking for red kind of fascism, not fascist kind of fascism.
That's what the Heritage Foundation says too!

Sorry for the mediocre source, but it looks like it got its facts and translation right.
Oh, it's real. It's in other places as well.

Welcome to the new authoritarian America. Brought to you by craven politicians and a huge group of dipshits who consistently vote against their best interests because they only consume information straight from the sewer pipe that is fox news. Free speech is under threat more with each passing day, and once the Palantir database is complete, they are really going to go all out with their oppression.
We're just another one of those feckless authoritarian countries with weird-ass laws about not mocking or criticizing the government now. It's pathetic.
