What about Jack Dorsey's Bitchat . Could be useful in india (especially Kashmir) where govt shut down internet during protest
I'm still unclear how the stated goal of the title is achieved. My first assumption reading the title that it works something like airtags, but that is obviously nonsense. unless you are standing right next to the guy you want to message, how exactly does it work?
Hooray! As a Rabin fan, I love Briar and so tremendously excited to be reading this. Thank you, all who are involved with this magnificent project!!
I'm curious about the iOS situation
I doubt iOS has a large market share in Iran.<p>Also, for something like this you don't want a platform that requires you to essentially use the App Store and nothing else.
Unfortunately, due to safety reasons Apple cannot allow you to leave the walled garden, it is only in your own best interest. All communication services on our iOS devices require at least one US-based NSA-integrated middleman. /s

What situation do you mean?
Perhaps Americans should start preparing with Meshtastic / Meshcore, just in case.......
..,..the Emperor seems hellbent on bringing martial law into effect.
The military can very easily find and eliminate repeaters very quickly and almost certainly would.
I don't think it's going to be military killing a
Americans. As of now it more looks like federal government.<p>Nevertheless, sure, in the rural areas, but less so in the cities, reflections and bending of the waves make it much harder, and a single repeater with solar panel and battery could plausibly be made under $50.
Then get more? Sounds like a fantastic way to waste military resources. I have no clue why this mythical US military might and efficiency idea persists after so many failed interventions.
Here's a funny example of making it harder to find: <a href="https://youtu.be/W_F4rEaRduk?t=178" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/W_F4rEaRduk?t=178</a>
The intervention part is an administrative problem the military isn't designed for. For the core mission of collecting intelligence, eliminating targets, and occupying land, the US has an unrivaled track record over the last 85 years.
No, just blast the hell out of the ISM bands on which they operate. This seem certainly feasible for a military apparatus the size of the US.
The interventions fail only after enormous slaughter, which people are understandably keen to not be subject to
Isn't stopping abuses of the power of the military the reason for the 2nd Amendment?<p>Why don't the people in Minnesota go open carry and let ICE agents think twice before drawing their weapons on people?
>Isn't stopping abuses of the power of the military the reason for the 2nd Amendment?<p>It was for establishing well ordered militias. They could be used to help defend the country in a time of war.<p>> Why don't the people in Minnesota go open carry and let ICE agents think twice before drawing their weapons on people?<p>Most of the demonstrators believe that "the pen is mightier than the sword", and non-violence is the way to achieve political means.<p>When the peace-niks start amassing guns, that's when you have a tipping point in this country.
Renee Good was killed after dropping off her six-year-old child at school. I agree with you, but people like her have children and are not trying to die in the street just for looking at somebody the wrong way. And it's one thing to open carry, it's another thing to become a trained and confident marksmen.<p>And as someone who has had half a dozen police officers simultaneously pointing guns at my head, mistaking me for someone else in public, once you're in that situation, escalation is only going to lead to death. Out here, police shoot you if your hand goes anywhere near your waist.
Repeater coupled with [autonomous] drone to change [hard to get to rooftop, treetop and the likes] location every 10 minutes like in a combat zone.
The iranian regime is trying to do an internet blackout to hide the fact that they have killed anywhere from 2 000 to 12 000 civilians these last days.<p>We're talking about a country ruled by jihadists, who impose sharia law, who fund the muslim brotherhood (which is a terrorist organization) and who actively support islamic terrorists worldwide.<p>Where are the mass killings of civilians in the US?<p>What's your opinion on an islamic regime ruling by sharia who orders the slaughter of thousands of civilians?
I looked a bit into meshtastic and was told that if a node was physically compromised then messages could be intercepted. That cant be right, right?

Good
Briar is a wonderful project, looking at our domestic situation it seems just as relevant here as Iran
"domestic"? That could be anywhere, what do you mean?
Can you expand on that? I'm from a developing country and we're very worried about what's going on in America. Is the situation really as bad as Iran?
Our situation has disturbing echoes, but thankfully thousands of protesters haven't yet been murdered here.<p>The death toll, especially of non-citizens, is piling up however.
