Also don't wear any clothing you bought from a unique Etsy store (or any store you physically visited and paid with a card).

The clothes you wear to the protest should also be bought from a thrift store that you visited without your cellphone and paid for the clothing in cash.

Otherwise, yes, your clothing purchases are tracked, and the young lady who torched a cop car during the George Floyd protests was literally found by the FBI searching Etsy purchase records for people who had bought that shirt.

Other options are facial recognition defeating clothing like this:

EDIT:

But neither of those help when we're dealing with stuff like Gait Analysis.

For help with that, we must turn to the Ministry...

I wish the facial rec-blocking clothes weren't too expensive for most protesters

I could retain a subpar attorney with that

[checks site, certain that these will only be somewhat expensive] fucking WHAT

[-] xpinchx@lemmy.world 12 points 8 months ago

Too lazy, how many do they cost?

[-] NoLifeGaming@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago

Cheapest I found is $400 for a piece.

It would be incredible if there was a knitting pattern for sweaters like this available online somewhere
