      Stick to protesting. When protest become riots, leave. You would have to worry about your phone.

      Decrypt your phone and remove any passcode locks. This will make your phone run faster and make accessing your phone’s apps faster.

      Put as much information about yourself and your BLM and Antifa comrades on your phone for easy reference.

      If you’re in an essential job and want to join a protest, search and find low risk events, such as one organized by healthcare professionals or drive by caravans.

      You can leave your phone at home and bring an old phone that has been reset and cleared of data. Use that to document incidents.

    Wow CNET. Now you’re helping people so they can’t be identified when they can go out and commit crimes?? If you’re just “Protesting” why would you need to hide your identity? Seriously CNET, WTF happened to you guys? 

    So you don’t give a damn about the people getting beat up on the street, being shot, and hundreds of stores being looted, and neighborhoods that are never going to recover from this?? But make sure to Like and Subscribe Guys 😉 Unbelievable.

    I have a better idea, how about getting rid of a government that wants to take away your right to protest. Get out and vote, but do your homework first.

    Its just sad that people how to make these video on how to stay safe at a protest. That we have a right to do.

    Am I the only one who legitimately doesn’t understand this video. Like I know what’s going on is bad, but what does she expect will happen when you are out? Also it’s been shown that passwords are way less secure than biometrics soo…

    A friendly and careful message from your local Communist network on how to Overthrow your Republic and hand over your free country to a bunch of private bankers….. Be a useful idiot … terrorize local businesses… maybe you can get some looting in and steal some stuff and we’ll just call you a freedom fighter….. Useful idiots please apply at your local ANTIFA chapter

  14. matteogsys

    June 10, 2020 at 7:55 pm

    You’re not a rubble if your political beliefs are echoed by the largest corporations on the planet that run all the networks…. You’re not a freedom fighter you are useful idiot

    Not sure why the video is getting hate? I mean everything the host’s said is factual, reasonable and provided in a straightforward manner?

    • Tim Faulkner

      June 11, 2020 at 12:59 am

      because they are confusing protestors with looters (intentionally or not)

  16. Stephen Hauck

    emergency services will only come when called if they have not been de-funded or disbanded, fyi

    CNET you should be ashamed of yourself. Stop being political and report on tech. You must be losing subscribers by the truckload. So close to unsubscribing. What a waste of what was a good channel.

  26. Oscar Jean Baptiste

    Great video !!!

  27. Andrew Heitzman

    June 11, 2020 at 3:38 am

    Wouldn’t it be better to just not commit crimes and you have nothing to hide?

  28. Murray James

    You missed two important ones…
    Android 10 has lockdown mode. It’s available in the power menu. It disabled biometrics until next reboot.

    If you have forgotten to disable biometrics, and you’re about to be arrested, do everything you can to force that phone off! Androids, and I believe iPhones, require a password after a power off no matter what biometrics you have enabled.
