Partially related, but there was a DIUx RFS roughly 1-2 years ago around building a data mesh to reduce the impact of DDIL such as in this kind of situation.

isnt this basically meshtastic? Meshtastic isnt much good if you want to get out of your city, but for communicating with friends and family (or fellow activists) it seems like it would be pretty good. Someone should airdrop a few shipping containers of them in.

So.. Satellites are the endgame? Mesh is only for close stuff, and unless everyone has rooted androids already with the apps, it can be shut down at any moment(like China did with Hong Kong and Apple).

If I play with ideas, maybe some people could set up antennas, but that is a huge project for hobbyists. Maybe the minority faction in a country could fund this.
