I’d love to see some kind of passive M:M mesh networking technology picked up by iPhone. Sending a iMessage over an E2E mesh network, completely bypassing the

  It just needs to be high power enough so the is high enough, allowing for less devices needed in the middle to form a circuit.

  Counter censorship via RF is dicey with something rolled out that pervasively. If you're gonna spin up meshtastic at a protest that's one thing, it'll be off everyone's radar. If you put a radio on every iPhone though, the powers that be will absolutely enact countermeasures. This leaves you two options, neither of which work: 1) make the signal hard to detect and jam/locate via modern EW techniques: spread spectrum (but not the kind lora uses) which is typically illegal already so the devices will never be certified to operate in any country 2) make detection/tracking a pain in the ass by using the existing 5G uplink band in a simplex fashion. This is a better option all round, jamming it results in killing everything and hunting down everyone with a phone is impractical. The issue is this is generally still illegal in a regulatory sense, though might be possible in at least some jurisdictions.
