They won’t be able to operate that over public networks in China, because the routers will drop their packets.
You’d need to roll your own mesh network — definitely doable in local areas but the question is how to connect them over wider distances without going through the Great Firewall. Satellites?
- hellojesus 2y agoI suppose you could use stenography or something to embed chats in pictures that are client-side scanned. I use grapheneos and can create storage scopes so that the scanning app would only have access to files I deliberately allow. Doesn't solve traffic analysis. Maybe some more advanced methods that encrypt over https could work.
- EGreg 2y agoUnless a lot of people are using it, they’ll just go after anyone who is doing suspicious things like using grapheneos
- hellojesus 2y agoYes, but in what way? Short of the outlaw of general computing, what could they possibly do to stop it?
- Hoodedcrow 2y agoThere are methods to bypass the Chinese Firewall though. the issue is getting people to use them.
- EGreg 2y agoHow can people use them for long if they get a knock on the door, from authorities who noticed an anomaly?
- Hoodedcrow 2y agoWhat anomalies are they looking for? There are protocols that make traffic look like something mundane.
- EGreg 2y agoHave you seen what classifier AI can do? Go make a protocol that fools all the AIs from every angle, that are scanning 24/7. They can get you on the metadata pattern alone, nevermind even the content.
