Post

Law enforcement has more tools than ever to track your movements and access your communications. Here’s how to protect your privacy if you plan to protest. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

First, let's talk about your phone. Should you bring it? What data can officers glean from a smartphone? “The device in your pocket is definitely going to give off information that could be used to identify you,” says Harlo Holmes, director of digital security @freedom.press.

Next, your face. Face recognition has become one of the most powerful tools to identify your presence at a protest. Consider wearing a face mask and sunglasses to make it far more difficult for you to be identified in surveillance footage on social media photos/videos of the protest.

Also, your online footprint. It’s important to understand how posts on social media and other platforms before, during, or after a protest could be collected and used by authorities to identify and track you or others.
