This Pride Month, there are many reasons you might want to protest & fight for your rights.
If you do decide to join the action, make sure to prepare properly to keep yourself safe.
Your smartphone is an essential tool to organize and report, but it can also make you vulnerable to the mass surveillance many protests are targeted with.
Here’s how to prepare your device before a protest to minimize your risk: https://www.privacyguides.org/articles/2025/01/23/activists-guide-securing-your-smartphone/

New Privacy Guides article 
by me:
It's important to protect our data online, and this is doubly true for anyone in the queer community.
But protecting our data shouldn't mean staying isolated.
It can be difficult to find a balance,
but it is fundamental to stay connected with our communities.
There are tools and practices that can help us with this.
Stay safe 
But stay connected

by me:
Increasingly, surveillance is being normalized and integrated in our lives.
Under the guise of convenience, applications are sold to us as the new better thing, but this convenience is a Trojan horse.
If we do not stand firm against this increased surveillance, even when it's inconvenient to do, we might soon lose our privacy rights.

Increasingly, surveillance is being normalized and integrated in our lives. Under the guise of convenience, applications and features are sold to us as being the new better way to do things. While some might be useful, this convenience is a Trojan horse. The cost of it is the continuous degradation of our privacy rights, with all that that entails.
