Another reason to mask at protests, aside from COVID safety and protection from doxxing, is that a lot of responsible documenters don't want to publish protesters' faces (esp without their consent) right now. Your face being in a shot may prevent people from sharing a worthwhile image publicly.

At Broadview, ICE is constantly filming protesters with telephoto lenses, and sometimes up close with cameras, or from above with drones. I wish this were extraordinary, but it's not. Protect yourself from surveillance, doxxing, and illness, and help documenters do our work without causing harm.

Keep in mind that many of us are doing what we can as documenters without unnecessarily endangering community patrols and networks--the feds have shown here that they are willing and able to gum up the works with arrests and obstruction if you put too much of a spotlight on the mutual aid networks
