how can we help?
Discussion
In India anytime the government is about to do something illegal they shutdown the internet in the region.
How does one get around that?
Isint it normally only wired connections and not mobile networks ? Or is it blanket shut?
IDK. A community Starlink subscription with WiFi?
Fortunately the South has never experienced it so far. But with whats going on with the new delimitation saga, It can happen any day in the south too.

Build a mesh network around you
A meshststic network would at least allow messages during an outage
It's just internet that they shut down, you can still send texts & make calls
They only shutdown the mobile internet btw... Broadband services keep running.

Mesh Net??
Don’t call them the government

There's strong opportunities between a reticulum mesh network and a diversified bridges to the Internet: StarLink, broadband, mobile, etc.
I really wish Coldcard Q to operate in situations like these. After the keyteleport functionality, I believe the future Qs may perform this magic. Make it nostr:npub1az9xj85cmxv8e9j9y80lvqp97crsqdu2fpu3srwthd99qfu9qsgstam8y8
There are always ways. In 2019, Iran shutdown most Internet access. People resorted to dialup modems to connect to international orgs that provided them with (very slow) Internet access. Technologies like packet radio, point to point WIFI and even optical links can be used to connect across borders.
Fortunately, most governments realize that shutting down access completely is terrible for the economy. They tend to prefer filtering and partial shutdowns which provides opportunities to sneak traffic out over the allowed channels. Technologies like VPNs and TOR can be used. There are also quite a few lesser know techs that let users disguise Internet traffic. There is no definitive answer here, because filtering tech and allowed channels evolve constantly.
Satellite networks like Starlink are usually not helpful because they don't want to defy local governments that can ban them.
StarLink?

Mesh network internet (everyone is an ISP)
Get familiar with Meshtastic [1] and Reticulum [2].
Tech nerds can get around it but 95% of the public won't
Massive adoption of Nostr could help. However, at this stage, it's difficult. Unfortunately, the onboarding experience is confusing. The concepts of public and private keys aren't easy to grasp for most users who are used to the traditional email and password system.
I love that your heart is just to step in, not make assumptions about what they need, and simply ask how we can help. The Turkish people know what they need more than any other people group -but we’re here to help.
Love this. And I’m thankful for you, O-deezy.
Dear Odell, I have checked primal search with turkey protests and found not much content. May below link explain the issue we are facing. We need to shout out! Politically motivated arrests are unlawful. Turkey need democracy!
Hundreds of thousands of pro-democracy protesters have taken to the streets of Istanbul, Turkey, in support of jailed mayor Ekrem Imamoglu, who is seen as a rival to President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
What does every other media site showcase? First time I hear about this.
All censored 🙈🙉🙊
The freedom fighters become the next tyrants is the history of the world.
If it's a pro democracy protest then it's a CIA op.
No one wants a Republic protest because that involves critical thinking.
You are amazing thank you 👌🏼
What do you expect from Erdogan? He's a bloodthirsty dictator that sold his own people out to serve israel. Of course he is unpopular.
He's the one behind the HTS terrorist group that have been massacring Christian Syrians.
Waaw i wish i could add more he is building new jails in each cities 🫤 for us.
what is the alleged reason for the jailing?
Unlawful and politically motivated.
Every day a new accusation, today it was threatening the prosecutor.
Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu defeated Erdogan 3 times in the elections and they are trying to eliminate him as the strongest candidate.
He cancelled his university diploma unconstitutionally with the signature of the men he appointed, so that he could not be a candidate, and now they are fabricating a crime to get a political ban, they are completely lawless.
