Could Apps like Jack Dorsey's BitChat & Briar be improved to allow high-quality #encrypted video & voice calls, text, & HD media sharing for city-wide #communication without the #internet during a disaster, blackout, or protest?

Could future iterations of Bluetooth or any new innovative network #technology enable this?

@danish_akhtar7 That's a lot of data you'd have to transfer qickly. If the devices are all in a local network, it's easy. If not, you'd somehow have to do some meshing magic, killing latency and bitrate to a point where it'd be basically impossible to do (in my oppinion). This is true even before you consider that emergencies tend to prompt a high volume of calls that have even brought down traditionall cellular networks.
