Holy shit I actually did tell my daughter not to bring her phone to the protest.
May I know what's the reason to not bring your phone? Is it due to concerns of being tracked?
Basically, yes. Plus, it may be unconstitutionally searched if you are detained.
Yes. Even when your phone is powered down, some models still ping cell towers. If it pings one, they know your distance to the tower. If it pings two, both towers know your distance, and the overlapping circles would reveal two positions coordinates, one of which you were at. With some contextual information, it's easy to know/prove which one you were at.
If it pings 3 towers, your exact location, and unique identifying information sucha as your phone's IMEI is revealed. So don't bring a cell.
There's no way this isn't a reference to that. The mom is essentially just traced over.
Fun /s facts i learned recently about Banksy:
i actually know people like this, i love my life
Aww, some people have the sweetest parents :3
Like, I get the point, but if you are too much of a coward to put your face with the cause, I am automatically assuming you don’t really care and just want the attention
I mean yeah, but (at least in the US) cops have a habit of trampling your rights to protest. Even if you did nothing illegal they can (and will) still harass you after the fact for bullshit, made-up reasons.
They'll assault you in the moment too, but protecting your identity won't protect you from that.
Agreed
the attention you won't get because your identity is not known?
Hmm, I hadn't thought about it that way, NOIWONTPICKANAME.
I guess you don't really care about this comment either, then, and are just doing it for attention.
It’s literally the only benefit, I get attention for what I say directly attached to how much effort and show I put out.
I also expect that if I had put my name to it, it would indeed show my dedication.
That’s why I sign petitions with my real name and this shit with my funny name.
That and I really like funny usernames, they make me happy, and I assume they do others as well.
I haven’t told anyone how to protest, I merely told you what I thought about the ones that don’t show their faces
This is privilege talking, you should read Little Brother by Cory Doctorow.
Blah blah blah. You can’t throw the word privilege around for everything.
Don’t get me wrong, I have plenty of it, but the poor and rich, white and black all bonded together unmasked before.
you're anonymous because you want attention
Maybe attention isn’t the right word, basically I feel like you don’t actually support the cause, you just want to pretend you do.
The people who actually care are willing to take those punishments and the sheer fact that they are willing to do so is what shows they care.
Not showing yourself, shows a lack of dedication to your cause, you aren’t willing to sacrifice, other than some time, you won’t have any permanent consequences.
It’s a “put your money where your mouth is thing.”
They want to pretend they care to make themselves feel like they are doing something, but not sign their name for the cause.
There's actually an old anti-kkk law in Ohio they've been talking about still enforcing, it says if three or more people commit a misdemeanor together while concealing their identity it becomes a felony. It would be interesting to see how that played out in court today.
what's on the parent's right bicep? it looks like the three arrows but mashed up with the big line go up
It's the squatter's symbol
And uh… no easily identifiable tattoos?
Right? Absolute lol.
I'm guessing the intention here is that they're fake, marker drawn ones. Still not great, but I'd think the artist who made this would at least understand that much if they understood rules like no phone, no pics, no talking to pigs.
Yeah, that's a good rule of thumb. But in a huge group of anarchists i don't know if the anarchist symbol is particularly identifiable.
For real tho, if you're out protesting it's probably a good idea to cover your tattoos.
The commonality of symbol itself isn’t necessarily the point. If you have one that is easily identifiable (such as the anarchy sybmol) and the location is readily apparent, say on your left arm on your elbow, then that’s enough for them to go with to help with ID the person. While there may be plenty of the symbol around, the odds of a person of a certain age/sex/color having that same symbol in the same spot is pretty close to zero.
Late edit: if you want to fool visual identification via tattoos, get fake tattoos that are visible and then remove them.
What's the deal with tattoos? I'm somewhat interested in getting some, but I don't want to get them if they'll make things more risky in the future. Then again, at an action you should be in black pants and long sleeve shirt with gloves and a mask, so maybe it doesn't matter all that much as long as you cover them?
Cover them, and don't get arrested, because if you get arrested, they will strip you naked in order to force you to shower and make note of any tattoos you didn't divulge in booking.
