I wasn’t thinking so much about tech info, though that is probably even more important, but about just contact and keeping up to date, like with FR and political action. All of this stuff is bit by bit going to be banned from the net as pernicious content, or even as “false” content like true facts and surmises about AGW and the like, or dissemination about news of the area by area banning of fracking or whatever. How do we sidestep the net? I suppose systems will arise like somehow piggybacking on cell phone systems or such but it needs to be something known to the government that the government can’t shut down. It would be necessarily known to the government or it would be too small and limited to be available to most of us. As you can tell I am not tech competent myself. I am a user not a geek. I tried getting into it years ago but could not follow a flow chart.
I think that’s a good idea, but they’ll follow and possibly restrict communications done through any protocols, bands or electronic devices. A hard copy newspaper is the most legally secure way that I can think of, although electronic publications should have been legally defended as much.
We shouldn’t have even allowed the propaganda ploy of using the word, blog, to describe and debase individual websites. Individual website publications should enjoy full First Amendment protection.
