    Right??? Protest coordination on traditional social media is like… iffy now, at best.

      It really makes me wonder how people were able to pull this shit off in the 50s, 60s and 70s when we can’t make it happen today with everything available to us.

        they didn’t use maligned, monitored areas for communication… people today should coordinate face-to-face or at worst via telephone if they haven’t already exposed themselves.

          Telephones have been insecure for at least 20 years. Cellphones have backdoors built into the protocol standards. Face-to-face or good encryption are the options.

        They still had third places where they could organize face-to-face. Think union halls, fraternal organizations (which us Millennials only know about from old cartoons), churches, etc.

        See also this Adam Conover video, which isn’t specifically about organizing to protest but nevertheless is pretty insightful about it.

      Oddly, the recent thing in LA was via TikTok, but to be fair their knee bending is probably superficial at best.
