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)

🚨Une revue cartographie 267 études présentées comme longitudinales sur le numérique et la santé des jeunes. Son message : ne pas réduire les usages au seul temps d’écran ; les pratiques, les contenus et les contextes comptent aussi. Les liens observés ne suffisent pas à établir une causalité. 📒 Usage quotidien des technologies numériques et santé des jeunes : revue de portée des études longitudinales ✍️ Preetika Banerjee (Department of Pharmacy, CHOICE Institute, School of Pharmacy, University of Washington, États-Unis) et Louise Holly (Digital Transformations for Health Lab, Université de Genève, Suisse).JMIR Public Health and Surveillance - avril 2026 Everyday Digital Technology Use and Youth Health: Scoping Review of Longitudinal Studies Capsules Audio de Pratiques en Santé 🎙️🎥 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ul9HCp-R71s Analyse de Pratiques en Santé et lien vers la source ℹ️➕ https://www.pratiquesensante.com/blog/pratiques-15/usage-quotidien-des-technologies-numeriques-et-sante-des-jeunes-revue-de-portee-des-etudes-longitudinales-6269 📌 Une carte des preuves plutôt qu’un bilan des effets. Cette revue recense 267 études longitudinales publiées entre 2014 et 2024 et les classe en 6 thèmes (p. 5-7). Elle croise une synthèse par thème avec un décompte par technologie, type d’effet, âge et région (p. 11). Les autrices précisent qu’elle repère les grandes orientations de la recherche et ses lacunes, sans évaluer de façon définitive les effets (p. 11). Un déplacement du regard proposé par les autrices. Les études qui distinguent les façons d’utiliser le numérique trouvent des liens plus constants que celles qui mesurent le seul temps d’écran (p. 11). Les autrices en tirent une implication : passer d’un discours centré sur la responsabilité individuelle à des politiques qui agissent sur les environnements numériques des jeunes (p. 11). La revue peut aider à confronter les messages de prévention sur les écrans à ce que les études longitudinales permettent réellement d’affirmer. 🇬🇧: Daily use of digital technologies and youth health: a scoping review of longitudinal studies - https://www.pratiquesensante.com/en/blog/practices-15/usage-quotidien-des-technologies-numeriques-et-sante-des-jeunes-revue-de-portee-des-etudes-longitudinales-6269 #️⃣ #pratiquesensante #ÉcransEtJeunes #SantéMentaleJeunes #RéseauxSociaux #LittératieNumérique #DéterminantsNumériques #PréventionNumérique #RechercheLongitudinale
