If Secure Scuttlebutt had taken off at scale, blocking access to content could have been harder. It is not without security risks, but I found data transfer via local mesh networks a powerful capability. I'll explain a bit. If Alice has some content to share but no internet access, Alice will sync posts (automatically) with Bob when he visits her. Then when Carol meets Bob, she gets uploads from Bob and 2 levels of his friends (not all of whom Carol might know). If Carol had some way to get online (or if she travels outside), Bob and his friends' data become available much more widely. It's basically a mesh network of friends, so much like the real world.
