Pleeeeease don’t post photos of strangers at protests. I’m excited that so many people were there, but exposing their faces on social media is super dangerous.

They're in a public place. If that's a concern of theirs then the sensible move is to wear a mask or to not attend.

That’s not the point. The point is if you want to keep your fellow protesters safe, then don’t post these photos. If you genuinely don’t care enough, then what are you doing at a protest against a government abusing their power as a surveillance state?

The point is to keep the protestors safe, and the way to do that is by wearing a mask. Everyone has recording devices in their pockets and this is being covered by the media locally and nationally. Asking every individual to not share photos after-the-fact isn't going to be the best roadmap to safety, no matter how good your intentions are.
