   Reminder that if you're going to protest tomorrow, turn off your fucking phone (or leave it at home).

     @Andres4NY Hey, uh, something that isn't talked about nearly enough...
     You know how your newer car has a touchscreen and an app for your phone? Your car is tracked!!! It's a big rolling smartphone!

     @Andres4NY New Google phones apparently keep polling for location when "off." When shutting down, mine cheerily tells me that I can still use "find my device" when it is "off."

     @scott that's why I listed "turn it off" as an option. That allows you to turn it on if needed to document police brutality, but by default isn't going to track you.

     Also, lol @ the "fear" stuff. Reminds me of the "fear of covid" anti mask people. This is just making it less easy for police and government to harass you. Fear would be staying home.
