For you geeks out there: is it possible for consevative rich guys to get together and buy a satellite so we’ll have internet just in case the gov ever tries to control it?
They would just take over the dish to.
If the government takes over the internet and other means of communication. it will be the whole works.
ham radio’s and CBs will likely be the only option.
From Wiki
"UUCP is an abbreviation of Unix-to-Unix Copy.[1] The term generally refers to a suite of computer programs and protocols allowing remote execution of commands and transfer of files, email and netnews between computers. Specifically, a command named uucp is one of the programs in the suite; it provides a user interface for requesting file copy operations. The UUCP suite also includes uux (user interface for remote command execution), uucico (the communication program that performs the file transfers), uustat (reports statistics on recent activity), uuxqt (execute commands sent from remote machines), and uuname (reports the UUCP name of the local system).
Although UUCP was originally developed on Unix in the 1970s and 1980s, and is most closely associated with Unix-like systems, UUCP implementations exist for several non-Unix-like operating systems, including Microsoft's MS-DOS, Digital's VAX/VMS, Commodore's AmigaOS, classic Mac OS, and even CP/M."
No..the internet is just a networking of computer..the old analogy of a highway of computers is correct but in this case when they turn it off all the highways disappear so you have an uplink to a dead end
