The right to assemble and protest is enshrined in American law, but it can still be dangerous to hit the streets to make your voice heard. Your devices are a treasure trove of information about you, and you may not always know who’s collecting that data. Take a few minutes before you go to assess your digital and physical safety. Even if you have nothing to hide, you don’t want to accidentally give law enforcement officials any information you didn’t intend to share. Follow these tips to lock down your phone before a protest or other peaceful assembly.

    1. Get a cheap mobile specifically for protests, especially using it for pictures and video.
    2. Set it up to livestream everything, so that any video evidence gained can’t be taken away.
    3. Get a faraday bag for when you need to put that mobile away and not be tracked.

    Maybe I’m missing something though?
