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.
