     I think people should protest, but you may want to be careful what is on your phone. As you may recall, I work for Meta. We're currently spying on people.
     
     We are helping the government to identify people who were in the protest. We are currently helping identify people who want to protest. We are currently helping government agents know where and when protest may happen.
     
     If you have any Facebook apps - Facebook Messenger, Facebook, WhatsApp, Threads, Instagram -- Uninstall the app.

     @murdoc @Linux @stux

     If it’s Android, it’s convoluted: enable developer tools, then there enable USB debugging, then plug to laptop via USB, and use adb shell to find apps that match facebook|meta|whatsapp|microsoft and then delete them. It’s not hard but it’s also easy to mess up.

     @Linux @stux
     My phone won't let me uninstall it, only disable it. Is that good enough?

     You should uninstall and never install any proprietary software.

     @stux @Em @Linux Taking a burner device allows you to be tracked and listened to just as well.
     
     Such device wouldn't be useful for anything really, as it's not like people with your old number will be able to call you on a new number.

     @Linux @stux please do not take your phones with you at a protest in general. ☝🏻
