If you are partaking in a #protest, please do think of your and others' #OpSec (operational security). Depending on the protest, you might want to have it not linkable to your personal identity.

Some tips:

  • Consider taking measures that protect your identity. Wear a mask, wear clothes that you don't normally wear. Conceal any markings like tattoos and piercings.
  • Make sure you and fellow protestors are safe at any given time - wherever feasible. Help and advice others if you can.
  • No matter how secure your phone is - cellular connections do broadcast your location. Even if you take out the SIM. Either leave your phone at home or get a burner, paid with cash. And never, ever turn it on at home, at work or places that can be linked to you.
  • Do not link any IRL identities on that phone. Use a resilient app like @briar for communication during the protest. Briar is able to withstand internet and comms blackouts.

So, folks - we need to have a chat. I've seen a large number of #handsoff #protest photos. While I am deeply grateful to anyone protesting in whatever form, please keep from posting photos that reveal faces and/or identities of people you haven't have explicit permission from.

#OpSec is incredibly hard - protestors might not be aware of the (possible) consequences of having their identities posted and shared online.

It still needs to be a choice, whether any individual wants to be linked to the protest they've partaken in. Even if they did not wear a mask.

Anti-fascist Demonstrator Being Dragged Away by Police During the Battle of Cable Street, East London 1936

“Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well,” Czech dissident, writer and statesman Václav Havel said, “but the certainty that something is worth doing no matter how it turns out.”
