I greatly disagree with most of this; true only in rare and exceptional cases.

Thanks. This is often a misunderstanding between protest dynamics and surveillance/privacy concerns.

There are exceptions obviously but in most cases discouraging livestreaming means only police have a recording.

Protests are public activities in most settings; plus the police almost always record *a lot.*

A false sense of secrecy when it is not actually possible is usually more dangerous.

that being said I think we just have perhaps a different feeling about harm reduction as a security/safety improvement tactic.

from doing legal support for demos in the US I know that even w/near ubiquitous police surveillance cops still comb youtube for vids

thank you for the critique- I'll sharpen how I talk about surveillance and false sense of privacy w/livestreaming.

I agree there are different contexts; but there are many cases live streams are, if anything, called for as protection.
