It looks like this allows short range communication, but doesn't set up a meshnet. So wouldn't be great for anything more than a couple hundred feet.

Beyond that though, at this point for protests (in the US at least), the suggested opsec is to leave your phone at home.

It is endlessly depressing to me that the 'revolutionary' tools that so often catch on aren't free and open source.

Completely agree. It's a maddening conversation because this is fundamentally what the defend the police movement is about. Meat heads with a 6 months of training and a gun are the correct solution to almost no problems, yet occupy some of the largest budgets our cites and states have. Then we pass more and more laws to empower the meat heads and continue to wonder why nothing's working.

So Trump's presidency has convinced you that America should lean more into being world police?
