Mehdi (e/λ) published a series of tips for people planning to protest over the weekend. He recommended leaving their personal phones at home and, if they had to film police violence, to use a blank device without a SIM card or connected account. He stated that a powered-on phone could allow services to locate them and advised turning off geolocation, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. He also recommended masking distinctive signs, including tattoos and scars, and not posting live images. According to him, video surveillance systems and analytical tools could exploit clothing, photo metadata, and online posts to identify protesters. He advised using Bitchat instead of SMS or WhatsApp, paying in cash, and avoiding the use of a Navigo card or bank card on public transport before and after the gathering. Furthermore, he claimed that refusing to provide a phone code constituted an offense and recommended memorizing legal emergency numbers and those of close relatives. #Manifestation #Sécurité #Militantisme (translated)
