I am trying to give people useful advice on how to keep their devices safe, but I don't know how to threat model for armed, masked thugs who may kidnap you off the street, then steal, and possibly sell your phone.

@evacide Build a case that has a small thermite charge that detonates?
@evacide use signal messenger. stop using all other social media.
@evacide
although they don't help against the violence, #acab, here are some #android apps i find useful:
you can do remote factory reset with #fmd. https://f-droid.org/packages/de.nulide.findmydevice
you can record video in the background behind lockscreen with #alibi. https://f-droid.org/packages/app.myzel394.alibi
@evacide one answer, validated in history many times, is emigrate.
Where to is then the problem!
#infosec made grevious error by ignoring computational propaganda at scale.
Why hack the computer...
...when you can hack the user?
Interestingly, this is one of the reasons why it was so hard to secure international agreements on #informationwarfare
The Americans insisted it was about infrastructure
The russians, about propaganda too.
Who was right?
Agent #krasnov is in the Whitest house.
Organized self defense is the only thing that would work…
@evacide XKCD never disappoints https://xkcd.com/538/
(I know that wasn't the point, but seemed relevant regardless)
Always only password lock your phone. No face ID or thumb print unlock unless it also requires a password. You can be required the scan your thumb or show your face, but it is illegal for them to require your password.
I don't know the security of find my phone type systems are, but if you feel they are OK, then sett it up with your family group.
Make sure any family tracking app is setup with no sharing of data and data is only sent encrypted.

@evacide i think we all know the threat model were all just not saying it
@evacide this post is floating around but I am not entirely sure that wouldn't result in some legal jeopardy.
