The announcement that the DEA was authorized to conduct covert surveillance on protestors got me thinking about how one could protect oneself against that kind of mass surveillance. In this post I give a quick overview of Stingray technology, the implications of its use at a protest, how aerial stingrays (“dirtboxes”) extends its mass-surveillance capabilities, and how the Librem 5’s hardware kill switches give you control over where, when and how you are surveilled.
@kyle how can I find you guys from gab.com?
@darkijah No idea. We are a standard federated mastodon instance running a custom fork called "smilodon" but we should federate as normal.
@kyle
My account is JesusGod_Pope666@gab.com if you find me. I guess it might need the @ in front of it. Not certain.
@darkijah Maybe they blocked us, however I believe some of my followers use accounts from that instance. I don't believe social.librem.one has blocked federation with any other full mastodon server.
