Are LoRa networks a way around the surveillance state? (lemmy.world)

I’ve recently discovered meshtastic and related tech. With the trust vacuum around cell phones and data scraping and tracking etc, I basically assume the government et al can see what’s up on my iphone constantly.

For interpersonal communication regarding civil disobedience, protest, resistance etc-- do LoRa devices offer an actual solution? or am I very mistaken?

I’m posting from a laptop that I converted to Linux (not tech savvy so that was a project) from behind a VPN- genuinely looking to hear from smarter people than me regarding privacy and secure communication

The surveilance state will continue to grow as long as it's left to its own devices. Pushing against it is the most guaranteed way to avoid it taking over whatever aspects of your life.
