“What can you do to protect yourself from this?”  
Inject a bunch of random Doppler curves throughout the video to drown out the true ones?

I’ll have to watch again multiple times to understand the specifics, but I’m not really enthusiastic about it.

He doesn’t believe it’s realistic to implement this at scale, but I disagree. If he alone was able to do all this, there’s nothing stopping an entity with more manpower and deep pockets to figure out how.

Just another method for surveillance abuse.
