    Neat! I want a QR code on a facemask that purports to be a contact details page (for what surveillor could turn down such an offering?) and actually quietly gathers data for me/performs counter-surveillance.

    Hear, hear.
    Also, credit to the people operating the cameras for signposting it (and/or the legislators who wrote the laws that prompted the camera operators so to do).

    I hope I might be forgiven for Sharing a fun poem about dazzle camouflage.

    Designed to Dazzle, by Annette Wickham:
    Captain Schmidt at the periscope
    You need not fall and faint
    For it's not the vision of drug or dope,
    But only the dazzle-paint.
    And you're done, you're done, my pretty Hun.
    You're done in the big blue eye,
    By painter-men with a sense of fun,
    And their work has just gone by.
    Cheero!
    A convoy safely by.

  5. Looking to make some masks (think surgical masks) that mess with Facial recognition. Something like Hyperface (which I know is not for sale) or other similar fabric. Anyone got any ideas?

  7. If there isn't an app that distorts your selfies a tiny little bit (just enough to confuse the face recognition algorithm), can somebody please develop one?
    Just like the tools that remove metadata from pictures before uploading...

    The best antisurveillance is probably to flood the web with distorted portraits of yourself.

    I have to admit that my mother gave me this idea. She doesn't even know how to use properly her smartphone but is my countersurveillance hero:
    She gets customer cards from every supermarket, then swaps them with all kind of other people to prank their algorithms of customer preferences 🤣

    With these new base stations monitoring functions in the baseband userland, one could setup and fine-tune their own "IMSI-catcher catcher": record and log unusual base stations popping in and out of selected locations... super interesting!
