It's certainly captured, but I wouldn't count it out just yet.The old media is absolutely 100% a write-off. But, unless the authoritarians work together to fully censor the internet. It's easier for them to reach readers now on their own than it's ever been before.

Breaking many from the generational tradition that is turning on the local evening news. It's definitely going to be hard. But now more than ever, people have a chance to really bank on their name and reputation as the establishment throws theirs away.

    We need to start laying our own cables. The underlying technology is sound but they can in worst case just cut the wires, unless we make that impossible. As long as bits can flow from person to person all the rest is software

    I'm looking at eventually trying to set up a local mesh Halow network. With some remote nodes being solar powered if possible. For a nice few kilometer wide basic anarchist network. That may or may not have access to the internet. But would at least provide some basic communication services to those local.
