SMH @ activists using techno-fascist platforms for communications during an operation subject to state-actor level interference. I thought we recognised and acknowledged this problem 15-20 years ago already.

Yeah, that's curious. I'd think they'd be prepared with Signal at the very least and some backup self-hosted channel, as well as cameras and backup cell hotspots.

they were prepared for the drone hit the other day; so hopefully for this as well.

I'd imagine they could have a few spread out boats further and further behind, each with its own cell hotspot, beaming WiFi all around, so that they have to be jammed simultaneously to stop the livestreams from capturing the attacks.

Or fiber optic cable.

it sounds like it would be easier to pick them off one-by-one if they were far apart.

What difference would that make? If someone who does have big guns wants to take them out, they're going to end up at the bottom of the sea regardless of how clustered the boats are.
