A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

In Android, holding power and selecting "lockdown" locks out access until your pin is entered. However, if you're at a protest or something where illegal arrests are likely, turn your phone 100% off.

How is turning it off an improvement over lockdown? I was under the impression that the security impact is basically the same

Location tracking and recording of all activity (voice, text messages). The FBI has admitted doing so during big events like protests.

You don’t turn the phone off, you leave it at home. Unless you are removing the battery, the phone is not completely off.
