I know millennials are getting the traditional generational luddite reputation at this point for sneering at smart devices and banging on about privacy and not needing all those fancy functions etc. but I am speaking to you right now as an experienced activist: you have to start seeing your smartphone as your big red glowing weak point. it is a repository of all the information someone could conceivably use to ruin your life, and you carry it around with you all day every day guarded by maybe a 6 digit PIN (or a photo of your face, seriously turn off face unlock right fucking now).
a couple of people I know don’t use smartphones at all, because their devices were compromised years back and they spent about a decade being tracked and spied on by the police without any idea. they learned the hard way and we should all pay attention.
lmfao. mate
Fun history question: what happened to the high profile Ferguson protestors?
