MODERATORS
They would have to regulate the clients that you and your friend use. So if you do it with pen and paper they can't do anything about it.
You don't even have to do it with pen and paper. You can install whatever operating system and software you want on your computer. If blocking certain resources on the internet is an issue, you could torrent public keys, use tor, use i2p, or worst case scenario deliver a USB drive to your friend's door.
One time pads can be used in public message apps or irc nothing they can do about it
Yup
