Lora is fine if you want to send a very short message. Its not useful for much else.

Its also not a prevalent technology compared to general.internet/mobile phone.

Organising resistance with it is the pipe dream of those who play with chips and antennas, but its not something thats going to happen when crowds and mobs form up in a situation like this. Not least because the hardware is not accessible to your average citizen.

There are real-world examples of non-internet networks being created in authoritarian regimes. One example I've read about is in Cuba [1] but I presume there are others.

Yeah, that makes sense. I’ve curious if there are sneakernet things for communicating messages between passing mobile devices? Something that uses exist hardware and is actually used in practice.

There are things like Briar, Scuttlebutt, Berty, Serval, probably more I don't know of.
