American man arrested for wiping his phone during airport search; here's why

A federal case in Atlanta questions privacy software use as criminal intent evidence. Prosecutors accuse Samuel Tunick of wiping his phone to prevent authorities from accessing its contents. GrapheneOS, a privacy-focused operating system, is central to the ongoing legal proceedings. Authorities in Europe also reportedly view GrapheneOS usage with suspicion. GrapheneOS developers state their software is legal and protects against unauthorized data extraction.
