    The Internet.

    That’d remove the circuses from our bread and circuses… and some of us are out of bread

      Just wait until Google implements Web Environment Integrity.

      We should already be in the streets and we’re not.

        While I can see the plus side of being able to identify bots, I don’t think the WEI is the right way to do it, and Google definitely isn’t the right company to be handling it

      but how are we supposed to organize gathering times and places to start rioting? on the paper?

        Bridgefy

        https://bridgefy.me/

        From their site:

        ‘Bridgefy is a free messaging app that works without the Internet. Perfect for natural disasters, large events, and at school!’

        It works over Bluetooth, and lets you send messages to other users without needing an internet connection. I haven’t used it yet, but the app looks straightforward enough :)

      I would love to see this just to see the absolute chaos it would cause. I cannot visualize it.
