The tech exists. it can be built upon existing social networks and stand in to provide out of network communications when the option avails (i.e; my Bluetooth can reach you through the fog right now - fog being a local mesh network). I’ve spent a bit of time thinking about what this could be like and I imagine it as a blend of impostors and the genuine, real news intermingled with scrawlings found in bathroom stalls, a meta network acting as an overlay, where we shield each other by merely existing, like TOR but every node is an active device in range. I believe in human ingenuity and we’re going to win, on our own terms, with our own devices, and we’re going to get our internet back from the dark and horrible forces that are bending our info system into a weapon against us. /end crazy rant
