Every once in a while, it pays to take a gander over at the EFF.org website to stay apprised of current events.

https://www.eff.org/



Here is their list of suggestions, in detail at the link, for those who wish to protest.

https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/11/digital-security-tips-for-protesters


1. Enable full-disk encryption on your device

2. Remove fingerprint unlock

3. Take photos and videos without unlocking your device

4. Install Signal

5. Read our Surveillance Self Defense (SSD) guide for street-level protests

6. Use a prepaid, disposable phone

7. Back up your data

8. Consider biking or walking to the protest

9. Consider using alternative means of transportation if you would prefer that your movements and associations remain private.

10. Enable airplane mode

11. Organizers: Consider alternatives to Facebook and Twitter
