I’m wondering at what point if any would I give up when it comes to privacy, obviously I’ve been overseas from australia (which is bad in itself for internet surveillance) but at least here our laws in terms of discrimination and rights are good in comparison to say, china or the uae.

should it be reasonable for me to bring a different phone or try to remove any or all personal/identifiable information from my current one beforehand?

Is it also reasonable for me to pay for more private cloud storage or would it be completely useless? if so, are there any options you would recommend?

Or maybe I am freaking out? I managed to visit the UAE and didn’t even think about privacy, and nothing bad seemed to happen.

    dont worry, the information is useful. my concern was with both the blocked sites but especially I’ve heard there’s a problem with hidden cameras, but thats probably outside anyone’s expertise here because its much less so an internet problem, if you get what I mean

    I see that the government also blocks more left and some right leaning sites, I’m not sure if I should come into contact with that so its a minor issue I guess.

    also, I’m not really considering, I’ve already bought tickets to fly in the new year, to both, really excited 😊

      Do you have any examples? I have not encountered any blocked sites other than porn. I visit many a far let site, and have never found anything blocked.

      As far as I know, this is not unique to Korea, but it’s an ongoing battle here for sure. How prevalent they are is hard to say. Whenever they are discovered anywhere there is always a lot of news about it, which kind of adds to the hysteria in my opinion.
