    I have never live streamed. I don’t have Facebook on my phone or Instagram or anything else that has that capability. What is a quick way to record and make something public?

      Sending a 2nd comment instead of editing so you definitely see this.

      You can also have your phone set to auto backup any videos and pics to a cloud service, so its backed up before the thugs can delete it.

      Make sure someone you trust somewhere else can access that account in case you’re arrested or kidnapped

      Unfortunately a private stream on YouTube (which requires 1k subscribers, I believe), Twitch (which is strict on any violence and is owned by Bezos), or Kick (which is owned by fascists themselves but rarely bans people for any reason) may be your best quick to adopt option.

      I’d certainly reccomend looking for alternatives. The ACLU used to have a live stream app but moronically shut it down in the beginning of 2025. You know, when we needed it the most.
