Activist: "Should we put our phones in airplane mode when we're doing activist stuff?"
Me: [responds with two pages of text about threat modeling, risk assessment, levels of protection, current and future threats]
I don't think most people realize how hard it is to give people simple, straightforward cybersecurity guidance.
There's a huge risk in erring on the side of caution: people finding your recommendations burdensome and doing _nothing_ as a result.

How I ended up summarizing my pages of advice, which didn't even cover everything I wanted to cover:
"If you're doing something about which you're worried about the government coming after you or the people you're with now or in the future, it might be prudent to leave your phone home, or turn it off and not turn it back on until you're back home unless there's an emergency."
