Hong Kong Protestors Using Mesh Messaging
by Maddog Wed Sep 04, 2019 3:20 am
How do you communicate when the government censors the internet? With a peer-to-peer mesh broadcasting network that doesn't use the internet.
That's exactly what Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters are doing now, thanks to San Fransisco startup Bridgefy's Bluetooth-based messaging app. The protesters can communicate with each other — and the public — using no persistent managed network.

This is kind of cool even though it won't work without a lot of users in an area, obviously not a problem in Hong King.
