hee hee hoo hoo you should definitely bring the self-surveillance device that is registered in your name, covered in cameras, and reports its location at all times to a legally dubious event

great plan

the fear is not realistic tbh. the police can arrest you any time they want and there's nothing stopping them. and if you actively organize, then they're already tracking you regardless

This is kinda true but not everyone who attends a protest is actively organizing. If you bring friends that aren't as engaged in politics as you to the protests, tell them not to bring their phones. If you aren't in a party, don't bring your phone. Don't take risks for no reason.

Or bring a phone you dont bring home with you and isn't tied to you electronically.

on most countries, simcards have to be registered with an ssn.

Most countries don't have social security numbers

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

mine neither, but it has an equivalent form of id

Yeah tbh I feel like the left reeeeally has a problem with kneecapping itself in the name of operational security.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

taking a capital surveillance device with you while doing things capital wouldnt approve of is dumb.

i don't know any leftists irl who worries about any of this in excess.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 2 points 5 months ago

dw, people irl ime don't do this, it's just the chronically online

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 5 months ago

nah, constant eyes on us will make organizing much much harder.

people will understand that when they decide we became a real problem. they have been rushing to expand surveillance in the last decade for a reason.
