      Even memes or slightly (to them) offensive comments or messages can land you in detention.

      You would have to have zero messages, social profiles or anything like it on that phone.

      And no references or logins to that private server.

        Have to be careful, though. You need a curated social media presence…

        Not having social media is considered suspicious in the US https://papersplease.org/wp/2025/05/30/us-state-dept-says-silence-or-anonymity-on-social-media-is-suspicious/

        Even unlocking your phone lets them install spyware.
