    Simply overwhelm them with numbers, they can hold a lot of a data but its hard to process well. Diversions help too, I'm sure even the knee jerk observations from yesterday can be applied here.

    Then seconding obscure lenses, wild facepaint, maybe bring a cellphone jammer if you're super serious.

      I've thought of something to do this automagically during previous protests. in the event that a picture is leaked that contains someone's face in an identifiable manner, it'll do a basic facial detection run on it, and then use a GAN to generate new faces to plaster over those who might be identified. It'll them spam upload as many different versions of the pic literally anywhere it can. Goal being to muddy the waters. The idea not being to try to convince people its someone else, but rather to give plausible deniability that the suspect's face isn't the actual original one and is one of the photoshopped varients.

      Thoughts? It'd be super easy to do, but I feel the premise is dubious at best and at worst could draw additional unwanted attention to the original fotos

        Anything to increase fog of war where it benefits the user. Sounds like it can't hurt anything minus time spent.

      Make up or face paint is very effective to hinder computer vision. Especially play with lightness as camera information from the lightness colour channel is lost to context sensing. You could try to also do this to clothing to hide your silhouette. A camera is a very bad sensor because colour is very ambiguous

      Cellphone jammer is not so advisable as it could hinder comrades and make you easy to locate, and is very illegal if caught.

        Cellphone jammer has potential in a tactic that calls for an to increase uncertainty. If you limit yourself to legalist methods you're not going far, do what the situation calls for at the time.

          I agree but this must be careful. They are very easy to locate and police hate them and they will hunt for you.

        Modern facial recognition relies a lot on face shape, so large black marks under/next to the eyes, near your jaw line but not on it across your nose. You'll look like a moron but the algorithms will have a much harder time getting an accurate read. Of course face mask and big sunglasses are even better.
