Die Proteste in #HongKong 2019/2020, die Eskalation und endgültige Niederschlagung zeigt der Dokumentarfilm #BeWater in nie zuvor veröffentlichten Bildern. Während Demonstrierende für demokratischen Wandel auf die Straßen gehen, propagiert Parteielite andere Weltsicht. 2/3

Ce soir dans Paris on peut voir des fourgons et motos de flics tourner dans tous les sens comme des toupies. Souvent ils descendent de camion pour rien, les manifestant-es sont déjà parti-es ! #BeWater

«Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.»

– Bruce Lee

@Leeing 沒看過原著，不過也不打算看了。比較無法接受的是整個劇情不但有很多地方矛盾且生硬，而且無形中狠狠地宣揚了一把共產主義：作者認爲世界應該有個領導者、炮灰沒機會出鏡、動不動就要集中力量辦大事……這些和我信仰的 #bewater 的理念截然相反。

To break the routine a bit, just recently finished watching the ESPN biography/documentary #BeWater, which is of of course about #brucelee

As a former #martialarts practitioner, Bruce Lee was THE inspiration (like for millions of others). During the years, I have read -and seen pretty much everything that there is about #BruceLee, therefore it is very nice to find new tidbits of his life, clips, photos, etc.

更新一下：看現在cpp這個兇殘度，暫時不要嘗試在外面掏手機，太危險了，大家保護好自己！😖

分享一個iphone隱藏照片視頻的功能。具體操作是選擇照片視頻點左下角那個向上的箭頭，菜單往下拉選擇「隱藏」。在相簿的更多項目中默認能看到一個叫「已隱藏」的相冊，隱藏的照片視頻就在這個相冊裏。這裡需要我們把這個已隱藏的相冊也隱藏掉，到設定裏打開「相片」，把「隱藏相簿」的選擇關掉。再回來看相簿，更多項目中就沒有「已隱藏」這個選項了。
適用場景：在大街上拍短視頻或照片，碰到黑警上來查手機要求你刪除。
如果養成邊拍邊隱藏的習慣的話（拍完馬上點隱藏是很快的），他不會查到你手機裏有什麼內容需要刪除的，就算最後拍的一兩張圖或視頻沒來得及隱藏，他讓你刪你就乖乖刪除好了。路上攔截查手機相冊是不可能查那麼細查到隱藏相冊的。
這樣既能保護數據又能保護自己。 #BeWater

Assumptions

Isa is not worried about arrest because at similar actions in the past, when a large crowd of people who do not appear to be classically antifa block the streets, police only kettle them or drag them out of the way before rerouting the fascists. She does not think that if she was arrested they would look through her phone at all, legally or illegally. She is also not concerned about her phone's location data.

Countermeasures

Isa has taken no countermeasures against her location data being collected or phone being confiscated.

Analysis

At mass actions, police may use IMSI catchers to see who has attended these protests so they can build profiles. This location data may be used to prosecute people for rioting even if the charges don't lead to conviction.

If Isa is arrested, which still may happen if the blockades are too small or she's one of the unlucky ones to get snatched while they form on the streets, she may have her phone searched. From this, police may learn of her social network or the activities of her more radial friends. This can endanger them more than her.

Recommendations

Even though Isa does not anticipate arrest, she should be more cautious with her phone. She could agree to meet with friends at a fixed place and time before the demo so that they can avoid bringing their phones at all, or if they really want to have real-time information, only one person in her group should bring a phone. Being careful with her phone can protect her radical friends who might engage in more militant means of resistance to the fascists.

However, the chances of any of these things happening is low, and the perceived benefit of bringing a phone is high. That makes this a case where it's "fine" for Isa to bring her phone... until suddenly it isn't.

Making a Plan

We cannot pretend to know your threat model, and we cannot address every bit of nuance for every region and situation. What we can do is list some guidelines that are generally applicable. When reading these, you need to consider what is practical. What can you actually do? And what will people in your social circle do? Your new plan doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be better than whatever you're doing now.

If this means making compromises on security so you can continue to organize, you may have do that. But at the same time, don't let others' poor security endanger you. Find a balance.
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but are some ways to develop personal OpSec and group security culture:

• Use a smart phone as they are more secure against most threats activists face than simple phones.

• Do not bring your phone to activities that might interest police, and in particular protests that might be rowdy.

• Prefer E2EE encrypted apps for communication, enable disappearing messages, and avoid email.
Use a password to unlock your phone, and enable device encryption. Disable fingerprint unlock on your phone before going to bed or leaving it unattended.

• Regularly back up photos and other data to an encrypted drive and remove them from your phone.
Delete old data: DMs, group chat, emails, calendar events, etc.
Leave group chats where you do not need to be present, and remove. inactive members from group chats.

• Practice leaving your phone at home or powering it off when running errands or for small actions to habituate yourself to its absence. Start all meetings by establishing whether or not electronics are permitted. If not, power them off, collect them, and move them out of range of your conversation.

And most importantly:

Do not send messages or make voice calls about highly sensitive matters. Do not photograph or film incriminating things. Do not create evidence that can be used against you or others.

@somegirlprivacy Although governments will continue to hold power over us, I've decided to turn my attention and investment to my communities instead.

If we're going to evolve away from the nation-state we need to build it ourselves. I used to think in terms of revolution and what it would take for the people's will to succeed.

And the protests aren't enough. Violence isn't enough. So instead of fighting it directly, I'm trying to #bewater and flow around and through it. 1/

@spla Acabes de tocar l'altre aspecte essencial! Tenim tan interioritzat el model patriarcal, un mana i els altres segueixen, un sol gall al galliner... El model feminista no va de dones contra homes sinó de cooperativisme, de fer les coses entre tots, d'improvitzar amb els recursos disponibles. Un té la idea i la resta l'executa bo i adaptant-la. Model cdr, model Urquinaona.. Per això cal una primera idea, una enorme resposta i a córrer (#bewater).
