If you want to attend a protest, you have to become unidentifiable. This is how you do it.

Police now have the ability to harass protesters with arrests, threats and coercion all the way back to their homes and offices. Attending a protest with a phone will now tell the police exactly who are you, who you communicate with and where you live.
Your phone has four main radio signals, all of which can compromise your security:
• Cellular radio – is your phone’s most revealing data point. Your SIM card has a unique IMSI number that is broadcast indiscriminately into all directions. The police can capture this number with so called IMSI catchers, find your real phone number and even intercept your calls and SMS texts.
• WiFi – is the second most common data point. Police can setup a rogue hotspot to trick your phone into connecting to it without you noticing and they can start monitoring your traffic in real time.
• Police can also use Bluetooth beacons to catch your phone’s unique identifier. They could also try to exploit known Bluetooth vulnerabilities to attack your device with malicious payload.
• GPS is broadly used for precise locations services, but this one is the safest data point. Your phone is only a receiver of GPS signals and doesn’t transmit any information. Your phone may, however, store GPS coordinates, which may be revealed to the police if they capture and unlock your phone.
Surveillance is the best tool to silence dissent. This is why if you care about your cause, you are going to have to care about protecting the identity of you and your fellow protesters. Your goal must be to become unidentifiable.
What follows is a comprehensive guide to become anonymous in the street. The goal is extreme anonymity and no middle-ground compromises. This guide will be split into two parts – Digital security, and physical security. Make sure to follow and understand every step in both of these parts as they are both equally required to remain anonymous.

How to get a burner phone – pay for a pay-as-you-go phone with cash. Register with fake info. job done.
I only go to protests to meet women. Baby, how can I get your number if I don't have my phone?
Very surprising for me
Loved the tutorial man this thing is legit 100% !! althogh i wish if theres a way you can do it on computer
Thank you a lot for the great content !!
Thank you!!!
Algo Boost.
Very informative
is 4g sim hotspot device is secure.
Would be better do an frp bypass to skip Google authentication
Easiest solution… Don't take your PHONE!!!
Dude your old intro was gold, why'd you change it?
If you want to boost this video for the algorithm: watch it at 0.25 speed and loop it
Do thee zob, algorithmm.
Very nice vid, can't wait to watch the next one.
This is good.
Algorithm booster. More people need to see this.
Also, would you still suggest signal for casuals?
Yes
One man's 'protester' is another man's tyranical terrorist.
Who decides?
The man with the gun.
Twitter does not allow account creation anonymously. It asks for phone numbers.
I feel like someone should make Russian subtitles
This how you protect Marxist blm and Antifa
could you please provide a download link for this video? I would love to save it to use without having to go on youtube again.
Don't protest at all, they just syphon your energy to the grid. No matter what you fight for or believe this is one of the worst ways to go about making change. Isn't it obvious by now that all sides are controlled. Open your eye Sims.
Thank you for another awesome video. What do you think about CalyxOS security?
Why not just get a PinePhone or Librem5 and physically turn off all radio signals using the dip-switches on the back of the phone…? Going this way and using 100% FOSS software sounds so much easier to me…
Ok, I am going without phone
Commenting for reach
This goes against someones guidelines.
Review vladimir os please!!!!
even if you use graphene os you should not use your burner phone for more than one occasion since i think that even creating new users for each occassion and even using an anonimous SIM will not work since each time you connect to cellular the telecome provider will see each time the same IMEI number wich is tied to your phone…Am i right?
That's great
