    there used to be platforms that would show livestreamers on a map, so you could get angles on protests as they were happening. I remember using it during the George Floyd protests in 2020. terrible for privacy, but it was incredibly useful to get an unfiltered view from the ground.

    do any of those still exist? or did they shut them all down?

      I did look for something like that, but I couldn’t find any. It was easy enough to have 4 or 5 tabs open and check them periodically. There still might be one though, I remember having to have a link for the Seattle protests.
