  1. Purchase spare chromebook (with cash)
  2. Purchase spare SIM (cash)
  3. Get TOTP working with spare SIM, link FOSS authenticator app, delink phone number.
  4. Throw away SIM.
  5. Get a flash drive, wipe, load videos on it.
  6. Go to public location, sign into Google account from there, upload video.
  7. Remove battery from Chrome book after uploading video, only ever plug it into power in the proximity of WiFi hotspots which can't be traced to you.
  8. Preferably don't bring your phone with you since they can track you through that

what about facial recognition and vehicle tracking?

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Use public transport, wear baggy thrift store clothes, preferably masks on. Will fool everything but the sophisticated (and expensive) AI systems. Won't work if you're in the UK or China because their governments are insane

Depending where you live public transport has camera inside the vehicles.

thats why i asked!

MigratingtoLemmy ,

Walking then. I do not have any solutions against facial recognition like mass surveillance other than randomising your patterns

Put some pebbles in your shoes to make your walking pattern on video seem different from your normal walk.

MigratingtoLemmy ,

I suppose you could do that. Maybe putting an extra layer in one shoe will help with a limping posture if you're willing to go that far, but nothing is foolproof against AI

You don't need a SIM card to have a TOTP app they're totally independent

A VPN you pay for with crypto is probably more secure than driving to somebody's public Wi-Fi for this use case. Driving to a location, sitting around while uploading a massive video on public Wi-Fi, it's going to look very suspicious

Your IMEI number just got linked. You need a disposable phone and SIM. Or just go to one of those SIM swap parties where everyone swaps a used phone and SIM randomly from a basket

MigratingtoLemmy ,

In that case one should install a MFA application via a Linux chroot on their laptop. Throw away both the phone and SIM
