Could AI be used to create a bunch of useless chatter in the airways that they would have to sift through and waste their time? Maybe use AI for actual good.
Yes/no.
The data processing capabilities they have will far FAR outweigh anything you can effectively achieve with AI spam at your scale.
Even if you got thousands to participate, it wouldn't really be all that much.
Remember, these are agencies already doing data processing on social media, meaning they're already setup to analyze billions of messages a day.
Texting is so low volume it's almost comical, and people that are trying to poison the well stand out and become easy to filter.
IMSI spoofing is a product of wireless telephony being an ancient (way-pre-internet) technology, and we're long in an era where law enforcement (or in this case law-enforcement coded) investigators don't have to obey laws, such as assuring due process, and unreasonable searches disqualifying evidence. Instead they're hunting political enemies, and every prisoner of the United States is now a political prisoner.
It also means we don't have to obey the law, and can start using all-frequency jammers in and around protests and ICE actions to level the playing field. (It will also interfere with regular infrastructure, but it's not like ICE or the current regime gives half a fuck about that.
All-frequency jammers are older tech and easier to build than IMSI spoofers, and are highly illegal since so much of our commerce and communications depend on radio. But the current [FCC] has also been captured and is failing to do its job.
Any Amateur Radio enthusiast will know how to make a jammer. And current battery technology would assure you could make a handful that are portable and powerful enough to shut down blocks and blocks of municipal communication. This is playing pretty hardball, but then ICE isn't playing by the rules.
if you've ever used a radar detector you know, people drive like they are always being watched. not often in my experience. doubt these dolts are real sophisticated. fear is their main weapon.
yeah pretty much never trust a public wifi without vpn. bring your own router. cell data is pwned. technics aren't in their curriculums.
Ummm, no shit!?
So basically, one could go to ICE protest and troll with fake conversations about attack points and watch them scatter to control nonexistent issues.
better be VERY coded language that a jury would agree is innocent in nature and intent.
might be better to have a bunch of gibberish with a few named places.
They might think it's code and deploy there, and you're not actually making a legitimate threat they could come after you for somehow.
IMSI catchers. It's known at least for 10 years now, that they get used on protests in US.
