So be a polite and compliant drone operator and when you find yourself in the middle of an operation because there was not an actual TFR, park the drone on the edge of a building roof where the camera can still operate thus the drone is silent, saving power and compliant. Being parked on the edge of a roof with props powered off is not flying.
@FAA can you tell I am still annoyed by your poorly thought out highly spoofable clear text RemoteID implementation and lack of integration to ADS-B... Also, NOTAM != TFR unless all drone operators are using foreflight to consolidate all surrounding NOTAMS which hint, they are not.
The Geneva convention has been ignored for a very long time. Example: Using a .50 cal on humans is against the Geneva convention and yet has been used quite frequently in combat everywhere for the last 30 years. The only benefit I have seen and experienced from the Geneva convention was to get out of palletization (their odd term for mobility training) when I was in the military as at the time I was a sole survivor DoD Directive 1315.15 derived from the Geneva convention. I was honestly surprised that even worked. Instead they made me clean ceiling lights for a few hours.
I guess this will be a difficult question to ask. I have no doubt the numbers are high but there is something odd about the videos that leak out. The sound of the guns are enhanced for psychological effect? and in the cases where a gunner on a truck is moving down a road purportedly mowing people down there is no blood on the road where the protestors had been standing, no bodies and we never see the people being shot. It's not like I want to see people being shot but I've also seen a lot of fake mass shooting videos in the past decade. There's no shortage of real uncensored footage of killing in Ukraine. Why is everything censored for Iran?
Ukraine was historically more or less a free-for-all as far as front-line cinema is concerned.
I have to imagine the situation in Iran is more difficult for a few reasons:
1. Gen AI is much better today than it was in 2022. So, both sides can generate much more realistic fakes.
2. There was an article here on HN about Iran's internet slowly coming back on a whitelist basis. We're probably getting more pro-Government videos now than we were at the beginning of the current events.
3. Further crackdown on Starlink minimizes authentic leaks (I only heard about this and have no way to confirm how impactful this really is)
I'll add my own anecdotal agreement with your suspicion though - the footage coming out of Iran has been, for me, more difficult than other conflicts to piece together into a cohesive story. Western countries are claiming 30k+ dead, and while I don't necessarily reject the claim, the situation on the ground is still very blurry to me.
I don't like promoting gore websites but in watchpeopledie and search Iran you can count yourself at least hundreds of body from all the videos, often in a single location, usually the aftermath.

And before that and before Trucrypt many used Jetico BestCrypt [1] not free... It can pretend the OS disk is invalid until a passphrase is typed. Only useful to fool smash-and-grab trash level thieves but I found it entertaining.
Either way once the Windows OS volume is unlocked it's all moot. There are many other ways to access ones machine remotely such as pushing a targeted update to the specific machine OS agnostic but easiest on Windows as Windows update fires off all the time despite patches being on a specific Tuesday. This method applies to phones as well, beyond the JTAG encryption bypass at power-up. Then a gag order is applied.
