They can easily make a list of people prone to use anti-facial recognition that lives in or walks by certain areas then recognize them by body-type, height, walking rhythm…

Which is why everyone should put stones in their shoes, especially if going to a protest. 🙂

I'd strongly advise against doing this every day. I developed osteoarthritis in my 20s just from my feet being slightly misaligned. Walking wonky can very easily permanently wreck your joints.

Are you going to protests every day?

[–] Droggelbecher@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

They just said especially for protests, implying you'd best do it more often than that. Didn't want anyone to take them too literally.

Even just protest shoes being different style then your normal ones probably make a difference. Different bag loadouts could affect it too.
