We need to realise that the internet/social media shutdowns will now become normal to “control” populations and ensure people cannot mobilise or protest. Governments are putting in place the methods to avoid protest. The problem with this if you have a maniac in charge it’s going to be a helluva thing to get theM out. The only way around this is to develop tools and solutions. Otherwise democracy as we know it is dead.

>The only way around this is to develop tools and solutions. It's an interesting thought experiment what those tools would be like. Maybe something like freenet mixed with ipfs over a wifi mesh network? Not sure how that would work with that much latency. You could have throwaway wifi dropboxes to propagate between people. One project I read about was a raspberry pi wifi "grenade". It boots off a usb with the encryption key then it runs off a ramdisk. Then you "pull the pin" and leave it. If it's discovered then nobody can analyze it to find out what it was doing or who it was communicating with.
