Summary
The recent killings of Black Americans by police have inspired protests all over the country. Considering how many police forces in America possess digital surveillance tools that can track individuals, it’s more important than ever for those who are protesting to take action to protect their digital privacy and their right to challenge the status quo.
When you attend protests, law enforcement can use surveillance to monitor social media activities, track locations, break into your phone, and even collect your DNA sample. Law enforcement routinely targets peaceful protesters with these destructive measures, but you can take these steps to make yourself and your loved ones safe.
