Surveillance doesn’t need a camera when your own phone is screaming “here I am.” Once you recognize the pings, you’re no longer passive cargo in a tracking system. You’re the one deciding when and how you broadcast.

This is excellent thanks!!

Thank you. In #GrapheneOS, I can go to settings Exploit protection and make Wifi and Bluetooth turn off automatically.

What options are there for other Android phones and iPhones to acchieve a similar protection?

For Android "Automation" is an option, available on F-Droid:

With this one can set rules, to automatically turn off Wifi, when it is disconnected. This means, one has the discomfort to always have to manually turn on the signals, when needed. But at least they are turned off, when not in use.

Faraday bag is the way. Good luck convincing people to fiddle with settings. But pay $10 for a Faraday bag and tell them they can't enter the protest without it, phone or no phone - that's something people can do.

I have never had a phone that has bluetooth on automatically, is this an American thing?

How does nostr:nprofile1qqs9g69ua6m5ec6ukstnmnyewj7a4j0gjjn5hu75f7w23d64gczunmgpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumt0wd68ytnsw43z7tpaud2 deal with these probes?

The 30 second WiFi/Bluetooth timeout is useful, but what if Bluetooth is on and connected to a device?
