Ok, this is probably the best place to post this question as any. (Thought about posting it on /r/askvoat but figured it would not get through.) Wouldn't it just ultimately fuck up the NSA if everybody started emailing each other all of the buzz words they are trolling for??

Anyone remember when aol searches got leaked and there was a woman searching for hitmen and ways to kill her husband? As much of a privacy invasion it is a lot of bad shit could be found if it was open to everyone. Need autist investigators, not big gov. I bet it would do wonders for pizzagate.

I think the short term solution until there is a distributed internet rather than a point to point is things like piratebox.cc loaded up with information that improves people.

for instance I am loading one up to hide in public that contains 20 gigs of khan academy.

right now your computer has an ip address and it accesses another computer that has an ip address. there is a record of this contact when you make it. your internet service provider knows, and so does the server on the far side. Even if you are using encryption.

so when you connect to voat, your ISP and voat know bare minumum.

I raw dog it (dont hide my ip using a VPN) on voat and the chans from time to time. hence I am probably on a list because the government definitely knows which websites I have been to.

piratebox.cc is a way to configure a computer offline to act like a wifi access point. instead of connecting to the internet, the server hosts local content. many users can connect to the access point (just like your router at home connects to a lot of devices). these local users can interact and share messages and files.

I am going to preload one of these things and hide it in a public place. Preferably somewhere where poor people who dont want to max out their data plans on their phone are likely to frequent.

then i will label the access point name as "free connection" or something.

when they connect it force guides them to the page to share messages and files, but does not connect them to the internet.

This way, if I host material on the box (or users upload material) it can be shared without the government, google, the police, or anyone knowing about it.

the server keeps no logs and no usernames are used it's all anonymous.

I could see how people might upload subversive stuff on it. I don't care.

I am going to preload it with content that will help people and isn't (((Hollywood))) celebrity gossip. or (((porn))).
