The UK are imprisoning people not turning over passwords. What makes you think they won’t do the same if we don’t disable “travel mode”?

because there is a law against not disclosing passwords, but no law that requires you to maintain full access to your social media

Who & how turns this travel mode on? Users themselves? Or is it geo-based?

that’s a good question with arguments on either side.

If it's geo based, they can force you to login to their network that has faked location servers.

Also, US customs can perform pre-board checks in Frankfurt, so location is not US.

yes, but they can’t detain you in Frankfurt or compel password disclosure there (if I know my German law)

They can't, but you're not getting on the flight either
