Back in June of 2020, when this article was first written, people were taking to the streets to organize for justice and protest against systemic racism and police brutality<\/a>. Now, nearly two years later, people are again taking to the streets, this time to protest the possibility that the Supreme Court may overturn Roe v. Wade<\/em>, the 1973 decision that guaranteed people the right to terminate their pregnancies. There were protests across the country<\/a> on Tuesday, May 3rd, 2022, when the news hit; there are bound to be more in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n

As a result, we thought it would be a good idea to revisit this examination of how you can protect your phone data when attending a protest. Here goes:<\/p>\n

Be aware<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re attending or even just watching the protests, then be aware: not only is your phone a trove of information about you and the people you communicate with, but it also functions as a tracking device. That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to keep your digital footprint as small as possible \u2014 any evidence placing people at protests could be enough to get them arrested. <\/p>\n

You should account for the fact that your phone may get lost, stolen, or broken. There\u2019s also a risk of your phone being confiscated by authorities \u2014 which means that if they\u2019re able to unlock your phone, they\u2019ll have access to data on you and people you know. It could give authorities access to information about what is being organized and who is doing the organizing and might even give them the information necessary to shut down or prevent protests and arrest those involved.<\/p>\n
