how to secure your phone for a protest.

don't fucking bring it

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 28 points 3 days ago (1 children)

This so much!

Leave all Bluetooth devices at home as well as they have unique IDs that can be tied back to you as well.

And if you're worried about your stereo you can always pull the fuse so it gets no power then put the fuse back when you get home.

Need directions? Print them and DO NOT LOSE THE PAPER!

I wouldn’t bring paper directions unless they lead to and from a place that ISN’T related to you. Somewhere you know you can get to and from by heart but is a public place, for instance. Don’t give away a beautiful map from your home address To the protest.

I heard prints are unique and have a hidden pattern which can be mapped to a single printer. Not sure if this is true.

if the government is using printer tracking dots or your phone to track you down for participating in a legal, democratic protest, then the time for protest is long over.

Print at a public library?
