2020 Protests - Blog Posts
What sort of stuff should people submit in junk responses, exactly? Will just random keysmash do?
[Tweet from the FBI at 5:47pm EDT on June 1, 2020: The FBI is seeking information and digital media depicting individuals inciting violence during First Amendment protected peaceful demonstrations: fbi.gov/violence]
The FBI has set up an online tip site to collect information on “unlawful violent actions” going on at protests in the U.S. Please help flood the system with junk responses so the FBI can’t use this tool to track down and punish protesters! You can submit a junk response here or by calling 1-800-225-5324.
Some details:
You can submit multiple responses
You do not have to be in the U.S to submit something
The form asks for but doesn’t require you to fill out personal information
Even though the page is meant to be collecting photo/video files, you don’t have to upload any (although doing so will make your response more time consuming to weed out!)
Messing with surveillance tools like this has been shown to be effective this week already. Support the protesters who are fighting for and with you! Black lives matter!
