The U.S. State Department is funding an "Internet in a Suitcase" project to help dissidents in repressive regimes bypass government-controlled servers using mesh technology. However, critics like John Young and the hacker collective Anonymous warn that these systems allow the U.S. to monitor and influence foreign activists. The program is also linked to "persona management" software that allows a single user to control multiple fake online identities to manipulate social media narratives.
