Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 04:51:09 If you plan on going to a protest this week, be very careful when posting photos of others online. Especially close-ups of identifiable people. Your threat model might not be their threat model. Whenever possible in context, Privacy is team work! đđ |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 06:02:03 @Em0nM4stodon which should actually go without saying |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 08:00:37 Unfortunately, many #freeSoftware events do not yet have a decent #photoPolicy ("ask for consent first", "no means no", etc.). Which should not be necessary in the first place, because it is just common sense. But at recent #FOSDEM many people made photos all the time, of everyone. The photos probably end up in Facebook or Instagram for #AItraining 𤡠|

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 08:04:58 @Em0nM4stodon Mask up, make yourself unrecognizable. A protester sat in an interview in Germany behind nazi Alice in the audience and he was attacked by rightwingers because he was recognized. |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 08:13:39 @Em0nM4stodon Everyone should have their phones off. No one should be taking photos of participants |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 08:44:12 @Em0nM4stodon I haven't tried it myself but someone recommended ObscuraCam for protests in Germany the other day. It seems to blur faces in photos for you. |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 09:03:57 @Em0nM4stodon absolutely, remember how the January 6th morons were rounded up, definitely don't let that happen to you by this dumbass administration, probably best to turn off your location services as well before you leave the house, don't use any services on your phone that could be trackable, in fact try and get your hands on a dumb phone for this kind of stuff... |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 12:37:10 DO NOT BRING: your everyday phone DO BRING (electronics wise): ...that's about it. Phone companies can ping your phone location when it's on, even in airplane mode. Your phone doesn't need to transmit anything to track its own location via gps, and once you connect back up it'll dump all that saved data to Facebook, etc. Powered off, to my knowledge, it can't be tracked, but I'm not a security expert and am completely unsure about that. Plus you never want it powered on in the same place your burner phone is. |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 15:02:51 @TeflonTrout @Vonskinnback @Em0nM4stodon on the phone thing, write with an indelible marker your lawyers phone number on your forearm. Do not assume you will have access to it on paper or from your phone. |

Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 13:30:52 @Em0nM4stodon is anything happening this week specifically that stands out? |
|
Föderation EN Mi 05.02.2025 13:33:24 @Em0nM4stodon I'd also recommended to use ObscuraCam and ProofMode by The Guardian Project to censor faces and identifiable information in photos you post and to verify that any video evidence is real and not AI. You can download them from #fdroid |
