Help needed: paranoid about traveling to China

palatablesalve8462: > 2. it is illegal > it is illegal where i live too but i have never heard anybody getting into trouble for watching them, maybe its different there palatablesalve8462: > 3. Do I need to do anything besides “wiping all of your devices, generating new 2FA and Passkeys” like deleting accounts and creating new accounts? > if its easy, do it disproportionately, meaning think like a detective do everything you can. in my country some activist got doxxed on twitter, government arrested him. not by hacking his account, not by spyware, not by surveillance, just because he was using a “personal” account where he had posted an screenshot briefly showing hes real name YEARS ago. simple breadcrumbs like username etc can lead trouble into your house even after a long time. so if you think your accounts might be “contaminated” deleting those accounts is good practice to save you from trouble, years into future. get rid of: 1. accounts, passwords, passkeys, usernames, 2. factory reset mobile, reinstall Desktop OS 3. sim numbers (make sure to switch numbers for important account before deleting and locking yourself of websites, this might be too much trouble for you, but given that its free in my country to get new number its easy enough for me) i create an inventory of everything i have, and i check them regularly. this helps me “guide” myself what i choose delete/change, try it. what i do about sim numbers is that i have some that use them for important stuff like banking/legal/medical/family etc and i never use them for anything else, i keep track of who knows these numbers in my password manager palatablesalve8462: > 3. I’m not rich but would it still be worth getting a separate iPhone with lockdown mode for Chinese apps and contacts like hydride suggested > if you couldn’t convince your foreigner contacts to use privacy respecting tools, then its a good idea to have two phones. it really depends on what your are trying to achieve
