and they criticize china for this bruh

Exclusive BREAKING NEWS: After careful consideration by the World's top scientists from 1000+ top Universities, it turns out that WATER, H2O, the Wet Wet is, in fact, wet.

I mean who doesn't know this cmon

So basically, one could go to ICE protest and troll with fake conversations about attack points and watch them scatter to control nonexistent issues.

Could AI be used to create a bunch of useless chatter in the airways that they would have to sift through and waste their time? Maybe use AI for actual good.

once again.

do not take your phone to a protest

IMSI catchers. It's known at least for 10 years now, that they get used on protests in US.

Even though most of the comments here point out the obvious that phones are a risk, this kind of journalism is still important for spreading awareness and documentation of illegal surveillance for the record

if you've ever used a radar detector you know, people drive like they are always being watched. not often in my experience. doubt these dolts are real sophisticated. fear is their main weapon.

If you attend a protest, you need to read this and follow it:

https://ssd.eff.org/module/attending-protest

Please dont take your fucking phone to a protest. Buy a burner if you must.

You will be tracked. And spied on. And facial recognitioned. Etc.

I mean...is that not assumed to be the default? Cell phone surveillance is pretty much just business as usual in this country is it not?

I am once again recommending idcaboutprivacy

Would a burner phone be susceptible to this kind of attack?

Ummm, no shit!?

I wonder if it would be possible to extend the capabilities of the software to triangulate the location of a a Stingray or other false tower with a few more of those devices working in concert in the same area.

You probably wouldn't want to bring a phone to some types of events, but as the number of these events increase, the odds of you just happening to be close to such an event during the course of a normal day might increase. Maybe it's best if we turn off 2g reception on our phones. No reason to be swept up in warrantless sweeps if not necessary.

yeah pretty much never trust a public wifi without vpn. bring your own router. cell data is pwned. technics aren't in their curriculums.

I'm surprised it was finally acknowledged. The anamoliess were discovered in March and tested out at several smaller protests before the big ones.

Burner phone, but the power of photography is necessary. Don't get faces, which isn't usually too hard as everyone faces a single direction.

Remember to leave your phones at home or turned off completely if you go to a protest

Kinda unexpected to see Straight Arrow News doing original reporting.
