An authoritarian government cannot cut off the internet; it can only cut off access to the internet. That means severing the physical layer that enables transmission.
They can destroy 4G/5G antennas, cut underwater cables, or shut down satellites, but it is impossible to control all means of transmission.
It has become urgent to build new ways to transmit information without relying on centralized and vulnerable structures.
The physical layer is one of the greatest vulnerabilities of the internet and the hardest to change.
What #Bitchat created for chat, we must do for the entire internet, with greater range, speed, and no trusted third parties.
This might be done using Bluetooth, radio, or any other sovereign and individual means of transmitting information.
People in every country are waiting for our solution to this weakness.
