Some of you protesting are far too into publicly posting identifiable pics and videos of folks in protest crowds without good reason.
If you brought a camera to the protest point it at the authorities, not your compatriots. Document and publicize incidents of abuse, but don't facilitate your fellow protestors being identified and punished for showing up. Assume every face you post will be recognized and catalogued. They're not there to be your photo op.
@tomw @Rob_T_Firefly I think protesters from Russia and Belarus will disagree with you. Cops here heavily using the photos from _peaceful_ protests (even from social networks) and face recognition to find and attack protesters _after_ the event. They ever send "covert agents" with cameras right to the crowd to make a photos of peoples' faces.
Latest events in the US reminds me a lot these events that happened here a lot of time ago. So, "better safe than sorry"🤷♂️
@tomw @Rob_T_Firefly If history copies itself then next stage – government funded gangs and martial arts sportsmens who will attack the protesters before, right in and after the event.
And a lot of swatting at night to terror the people and fine the caught folks with ridiculous charges and a big prison terms. And a laws which make protest illegal if it wasn't allowed by the authorities. Protests without allowance may happen only in "special places" like Death Valley where no one will see it
