The EFF's Guide to Attending a Protest
For quick reference, we've created a handy guide designed to be printed, folded, and carried in your pocket (PDF download). Now, more than ever, citizens must be able to hold those in power accountable and inspire others through the act of protest. Protecting your electronic devices and digital as...

Seems like a mixed guide generally. It's fine, just some complaints:
8-12 random characters that are easy to remember and type in when you unlock your device.
Ironic that this comes from the EFF. Passphrases are much better for this type of stuff, and diceware is practically the gold standard to generate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diceware
Install Signal
More of a small complaint, but SimpleX is probably better if you're aiming for as much security/privacy as possible.
However if you will, use https://molly.im/ and torbot for android.
Back up your data regularly and store that backup in a safe place to save yourself from a headache later on. If you're storing your iPhone's backups online, we strongly suggest enabling the optional Advanced Data Protection feature, which turns on end-to-end encryption for most of the data stored in iCloud
I don't know too much about iCloud but i wouldn't trust apple with anything.
Here's some good alternatives: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/cloud
Dress for Anonymity and Safety
No criticism, just FYI this is called https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_bloc if you'd like to know more.
I'm pretty tired so i may have missed or written BS on top, please correct me if i am.
I would go with SimpleX and start building contacts that way, especially since the model strongly encourages sharing your contact details IRL via their anonymous QR code.
Seems a good way to meet like-minded people
There are better solutions but its important to keep things simple, also.
I agree but it wouldn't hurt for some of these. Though the guide is fine as i said :)
I've not heard of diceware before. How is it? I personally use a combination of password managers and short phrases which I encrypt using a specific method in my head.
One of the best ways I'd say. There are websites that help you generate. Even bitwarden has it implemented iirc
I recommend at least a five word passphrase, with a number somewhere, and you must generate it only once, each time you regenerate anc pick the easiest password reduces the entropy.
I’m completely new to SimpleX can someone explain it? Is it a protocol, an app?
Its an app that uses no user ids at all. It's probably the most private chat app available.
