GrapheneOS fixes this. Just sayin..🙃
corrupt french politicians have just legalized spying on protestors - very common anti-protest tactic now - compromise phones: track location, activate mics and cameras, read messages
if you are protesting - anywhere in the world - leave your phone at home - if you need comms consider radios or buy a burner with cash
for secure messaging I recommend signal or simplex - disappearing messages enabled just in case someone gets arrested

What about faraday bags? As effective?
