assuming for the moment that people were actually protesting the authoritarian dictatorship and not just wanting to be seen with a sign on social media, police and border patrol are going to be using those pictures to identify and arrest or deport protesters regardless.
it feels like a lot of people have yet to recognize the risk they pose to themselves and others with what they share. It's some funky cognitive dissonance. my impression is that some people aren't recognizing the risk because "this couldn't happen here and won't happen to me" is their default until proven otherwise
It's tough when you've reorganized your online habits and discover a lot of your neighbors have zero conception of threat assessment when you there's a very real and present danger of getting disappeared
