The idea is that they can’t tie the phone to a person. You also have to make sure you don’t get the burner phone some place with cameras.

Once the phone is on, they can tie it to a person with geolocation. Either directly if you do it at home, or indirectly when traveling in a vehicle associated with you.

The rule is that you don’t use your burner phone at home, you use it when you are at the protest.

If you have two phones both turned on and they both move around similarly, they can be associated later.

Sure the phone can't be tied to a person. But try getting phone service in the US without giving away your identity. Can't be done.

While true, I'm kinda wondering if that's even possible ...
