corrupt french politicians have just legalized spying on protestors - very common anti-protest tactic now - compromise phones: track location, activate mics and cameras, read messages

if you are protesting - anywhere in the world - leave your phone at home - if you need comms consider radios or buy a burner with cash

for secure messaging I recommend signal or simplex - disappearing messages enabled just in case someone gets arrested

governments can't keep up with encryption so expect them to counter via hostile tactics to compensate. it's all they've left.

Of course, don’t allow any permissions like contacts or photos as well! A tip I’ve learned in a past life 😉

Like Patriot Act as well?

Canada has been doing this for years now. They secretly used it to track peoples movements to determine if people may or may not have been infected by covid and whether people may have been involved in particular protests.

This will end up like the French version of the Canadian Trucker Protest. If they don't stop protesting in France, they will quickly see their bank accounts frozen and assets siezed.

Christ alive, that is horrific https://nostr.build/i/b78470d011407f067edbaaa0b29ffffe74e1274fdf5ae66ea49f0b24eee79d42.gif

GrapheneOS fixes this. Just sayin..🙃

But is it really that simple to just tap into everyone's device like that at the drop of a hat? If so how is this not being used by hackers and other potential bad actors?

In the case of nostr:npub1exv22uulqnmlluszc4yk92jhs2e5ajcs6mu3t00a6avzjcalj9csm7d828, there are no user IDs, so if you use a nym (or the native incognito mode) and the device is compromised, that adds an additional layer of protection.

Your cheapest option for a usable radio is going to be baofeng or talkpod. You will need some level of coordination ahead of time to get frequencies and tones right among the people you want to talk to. Have a backup channels plan and be sure everyone knows how to switch channels quickly from memory...

Lots to be learned from the Hong Kong protest pre covid.

Don’t forget about Sessions as well.

Companies need to build a phone that has manuel switches to turn hardware on and off. I'd pay more. Fuck, "1984 Timeline" https://nostr.build/i/c91f6b2942f1add1352768cd3a1bc0de161242622ab4124d99d3a2e5ad2fd117.jpg

I live in Paris and I'm very concerned about the state of politics here. Politicians who seem honest are very hard to find and they are so far from understanding the significance of Bitcoin. I'm asking myself every day how I can make a difference...

Bonne idée surtout dans ce contexte très liberticide tous ceux vont de plus émettre des idées tendancieuses fort liberticides pour se faire connaître du public avant les prochaines élections présidentielles. Un danger pour la démocratie et dans toute l'Europe qui revient de + en + à des p...

Sad that CalyxOS only works in Google Pixel models (and a few others) 😓

How effective is location spoofing via VPN? I assume you'd still be trackable because you're using cell towers but 🤷‍♂️

I actually don’t recommend folks go without a phone. Phones are increasingly important parts of protests. Telling the story is important. But don’t take your primary phone, get a burner phone, use a new pre-paid number. Ideally leave it at a place which isn’t your home but if you do take it ...

“Anonymized” location data points track you to your house and workplace. Later, authorities show up looking for “Anonymous”

just like what they casually do in China remember a coupla moons ago when XiJinPing visited the European CCP ally EMacron? But in China, it's expected that if one participated in a protest rally and suddenly disappeared, then that despacito will not be expected to come back home alive and it's be...

what if these protesters are Jan 6th protesters? Do they deserve privacy or should they go straight to jail?

I'm thinking we need "event branded" nostr apps!

Are those apps any good though? Some countries in the EU didn't even want to bother with laws like this because they blatantly said they would have access to everything using Israeli spy software. Can't they just record your screen?

I agree with the comment about the importance of privacy and security when participating in protests, especially considering recent developments. It's crucial to be cautious and take measures to protect your privacy, such as leaving your phone at home, using radios, and opting for secure messaging a...

Heard you mention this on RHR. Definitely bad news but not quite as broad as this. Requires a court order. Location can be collected for suspected crimes subject to minimum 5 years in prison. Images and sound records only for terrorism and organised crime. Cannot collect any data from lawyers, magi...

To anyone out there planning civil disobedience DO NOT use a RADIO jesus christ. And don't take blanket digital privacy advice like this. Know what your concerns are and make decisions from there. The worst thing that can happen to you from a privacy perspective is getting arrested. Avoiding that is...
