I doubt its even environmentally/economically sustainable for a whole crowd of millions to just buy burners to discard after every protest. Too much ewaste. Is there a strategy that everyone can use without generating too much ewaste?
That sounds an awful lot like you still believe you we have protected constitutional rights.
Every piece of digital information has been tracked and stood away by the government since the '90s.
There’s a very thin line right now between showing up at a peaceful protest, getting corralled in and detained until curfew then getting locked up, researched and logged.
The administration knows that sufficient protests will knock them out of power. They will escalate making protests dangerous enough to try dissuade protesting.
All efforts and privacy are reasonable under the circumstances.
Privacy and security are a continuum, and they are balanced by your appetite for risk, and necessity of action. The safest approach to these protests is, of course, not attending them at all. I don’t want to overwhelm anyone with security advice that may not be reasonable or relevant for their situation.
