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.
I just wish everyone would switch to Firefox.
It is because Chrome has a monopoly, is close enough to monopoly.
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
Plus how do you spot the difference between a good bot and a bad bot? Web crawlers from search engines are for example inherently good, so they should still be able to operate, but if it is easy to register a good bot in WEI, it is also easy to register a bad bot. If it is hard to register a good bot, then you're effectively gatekeeping the automated part of the internet (something that actually might be Google's intention).
I was thinking the same thing about Google wanting their bots to be the only ones allowed to crawl and index the internet.
but how are we supposed to organize gathering times and places to start rioting? on the paper?
Bridgefy

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 :)
Carrier pigeon.
