The US is huge — you can’t jam everything everywhere. Talking about just cities, you still can’t jam everything everywhere.
But yes, targeted suppression/oppression (depending on your allegiance) will almost certainly use jamming — in fact, I’ve spoken with some Antifa about how they jam EMS frequencies at their events.
- p0w3n3d 9mo agoThis reminds me the way the software was distributed in eastern countries when there was no internet. People went to market to meet other people, and they were peddling/colporting (look up the term in French) cassettes with the software. The same can happen now - people would walk down the streets to certain places, to become hubs of information, but with no physical contact. Of course those places would be were the jammers would head to. Actually this sounds like a good theme for book... however as long as I live on this world, I've noticed that if I invent something, there are already two people on the internet who have invented it already, so... please give me the title :)
- LeratoAustini 9mo agoTo save others the search: Colportage is the distribution of publications, books, and religious tracts by carriers called "colporteurs" or "colporters"
- bluebarbet 9mo ago"Colporter" is not an especially fancy word, it just means "to peddle" in English.
- DicIfTEx 9mo agoAnd for anything you really need to keep hidden, there's always culportage.
- thetoon 9mo ago> look up the term in French Wasn't that also called SneakerNet, back in the time? We used it in western Europe as well (both term and distribution method)
- frutiger 9mo agoAlso, amusingly, France is most definitively in Western Europe, so I’m a bit confused about GP’s link between Eastern Europe and “go look up this French word”.
- kyletns 9mo agoWhy would anti-fascists jam EMS frequencies?
