    I feel like this is making people unnecessarily afraid. Most protests do not require you to do anything special with your phone. If you expect more confrontational or destructive actions to be happening then this is a good idea but most protests I’ve been to are not like this.

              Did you read the article? That won’t happen if you setup your device properly

              Unless you’re not wearing a face mask or do something else stupid

                Have you read anything other than this article? Law enforcement can track your phone, even when airplane mode is on, even if you take the battety out. They can know that a device was in a specific area at a specific time and will not need a warrant with the cooperation of corporations. No stingray is needed.
