      Wear a mask and don’t post videos from protests with recognizable faces.

        Good advice. But wearing a mask in public (dissimulating your face in general) is actually illegal in France (because of Sarkozy iirc). Not saying people stopped doing it at protests but it gives an excuse to the police to arrest you even if you are not being violent.

        Edit : I just checked, the fine increases 10 to 20 fold for doing it at a protest…

          COVID’s still going strong and your mask “is for health protection”. Crowds of people like that make for fertile ground for disease to spread which is all the more reason for people to mask up and for fellow protestors to hand out surgical masks.

          An even better solution is a full face covering respirator to avoid eye exposure. From disease or chemical weapons used by police against their own citizens.
