If there isn't an app that distorts your selfies a tiny little bit (just enough to confuse the face recognition algorithm), can somebody please develop one?
Just like the tools that remove metadata from pictures before uploading...

The best antisurveillance is probably to flood the web with distorted portraits of yourself.

I have to admit that my mother gave me this idea. She doesn't even know how to use properly her smartphone but is my countersurveillance hero:
She gets customer cards from every supermarket, then swaps them with all kind of other people to prank their algorithms of customer preferences 🤣

With these new base stations monitoring functions in the baseband userland, one could setup and fine-tune their own "IMSI-catcher catcher": record and log unusual base stations popping in and out of selected locations... super interesting!

This is a DIY wearable / e-fashion dernier cri that I can get behind.

"Mac Pierce’s “Camera Shy Hoodie” is a DIY anti-surveillance hoodie with 12 high-powered infrared LEDs sewn near the hood. Using a switch sewn into the sleeve, the wearer can make the LEDs strobe, flooding any nearby surveillance cameras with infrared light and blinding them at night."
